Notting Hill Decorative Hardware

Notting Hill makes figurative, themed cabinet hardware hand-cast in pewter and bronze at a fine-arts foundry in southeast Wisconsin, with details such as hand-set semi-precious stones, enamel inlays, and hand-painting. The catalog has grown from twelve original knobs in 1996 to more than 200 designs spanning Arts and Crafts, Victorian, Tropical, Beach, Vineyard, and Lodge & Nature traditions. The brand's motto is "The Beauty Is In The Details."

Notting Hill organizes its catalog into themed families: Arts and Crafts covers Mission, Craftsman, and Stickley-era cabinetry with hammered surfaces, square profiles, and oak-leaf motifs; Tropical and Beach cover coastal homes and vacation properties with shells, fish, palm fronds, and beach grass; and Vineyard is built for wine cellars and wine-country kitchens with grape, leaf, and barrel-stave detailing. Classic covers Victorian and traditional formal references, while Lodge & Nature covers cabin and mountain homes with bear, deer, antler, and pinecone motifs. This range lets a buyer match hardware to a specific design story in the room.

Because Notting Hill hardware is hand-cast and then individually finished, with stones set or enamel and paint applied after casting, small variation between pieces in the same SKU is expected. Production is made-to-order, so a typical order takes roughly 1-4 weeks from order to door depending on the piece and the finish work involved. The 200+ design catalog at this level of detail is unusual for a single artisan brand.

Notting Hill is a fit for themed homes such as a lake house, beach house, wine cellar, Arts and Crafts bungalow, cabin, or Victorian, where the hardware itself is meant to tell a story about the room. It is described as a poor fit for modern minimalism or generic transitional spec work. When using Notting Hill, the brand recommends planning a single theme per kitchen rather than mixing, since pieces like a vine pull and a shell pull in the same room compete rather than coordinate.
