Berenson Folklore Collection cabinet hardware
The Berenson Folklore Collection is a traditional knob, cup-pull, and bar-pull family with a warm, hand-finished character. Folklore mixes a classic cup pull with matching knobs and pulls so a traditional kitchen can stay coordinated across every opening rather than borrowing pieces from different lines.
What identifies the Folklore look
The defining piece is the 3-inch cup pull, the bin-style handle that signals traditional and farmhouse cabinetry. It is backed by matching knobs and pulls running 96mm through 224mm centers plus an 18-inch appliance pull. The standout finish is Toasted Bronze, a warm aged tone, alongside Weathered Copper, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, and Modern Brushed Gold. The cup pull's cupped underside is part of the look and is finished on the visible face. The cup pull's interior is finished to the same tone as the face, so the hand-shadow under the drawer does not reveal a raw casting.
Buying considerations
Folklore fits traditional, farmhouse, and transitional kitchens that want the cup-pull-and-knob combination rather than a single bar profile. The usual layout puts cup pulls on drawers and matching knobs on doors, with the appliance pull tying in the refrigerator. Toasted Bronze and Weathered Copper carry the most period warmth; Modern Brushed Gold pushes it more current. Keep one finish across cups, knobs, and pulls so the warm tones stay consistent. Confirm drawer centers before ordering, since cup pulls have to align to existing holes and a near-miss leaves the cup tilted. Run the knob on doors and the cup pull on drawers in one finish so the warm bronze and copper tones stay consistent across the whole kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware pieces are included in the Berenson Folklore Collection?
The Folklore Collection is a coordinated family that includes knobs, cup pulls, and bar pulls. Center-to-center sizes run from 96mm through 224mm, and an 18-inch appliance pull is also available, allowing a full traditional or farmhouse kitchen to be outfitted from a single line.
What finishes does the Berenson Folklore Collection come in?
Folklore is offered in Toasted Bronze, Weathered Copper, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, and Modern Brushed Gold. Toasted Bronze and Weathered Copper carry the most period warmth, while Modern Brushed Gold shifts the look toward a more current aesthetic.
How does the Folklore cup pull differ from a standard bar pull for drawer hardware?
A cup pull, like Folklore's defining 3-inch piece, uses a bin-style cupped form that the fingers curl under to open a drawer, which is a signature of traditional and farmhouse cabinetry. A bar pull, by contrast, is a straight or arched profile that projects off the face and suits a wider range of styles from transitional to modern. The Folklore cup pull is finished on its interior face as well, so the visible underside matches the exterior tone rather than exposing a raw casting.
What should be confirmed before ordering Folklore cup pulls for an existing kitchen?
Drawer center-to-center hole spacing must be measured and confirmed before ordering, because cup pulls must align to the existing pre-drilled holes. A misaligned fit will leave the cup pull tilted rather than sitting level on the drawer face, and that error cannot be corrected after installation without re-drilling.
