Schaub and Company gallery-grade cabinet hardware
Schaub and Company builds heavyweight cabinet hardware with inlays of stone, shell, mother-of-pearl, and wood worked directly into the cast piece. The Symphony line is the clearest expression of that approach and uses materials you don't see in mainstream cabinet hardware. The company was founded in 1998 in Grand Rapids, Michigan by Bob and Marcia Schaub, a husband-and-wife team with prior cabinet-hardware experience. Production is mixed: stocked lines and made-to-order pieces both appear in the catalog, so check the specific collection for lead time before assuming a quick ship. Distribution is showroom and A&D-focused rather than retail.
Collections that anchor the catalog
Symphony is the gallery line, with cast-in natural-material inlays unlike anything else at this category's price points. The Vinci collection covers contemporary cast bronze. The Menlo Park collection is the largest in the catalog and reads as upscale transitional. Mountain Cast Bronze is solid bronze in four patinated finishes that pick up character with age rather than wearing out. The Country collection is the brand's farmhouse and rustic family.
How the line is built and finished
Solid bronze and inlay pieces sit at the upper end of the category for both price and weight. Hardware feels substantial in hand. That is part of the brand's deliberate positioning. Northport and Empire are two large transitional families worth knowing alongside the named collections above.
When Schaub makes sense for a project
Choose Schaub when the cabinetry is custom or near-custom and the buyer wants hardware that's clearly handmade rather than die-cast. The kitchen or bath is usually being designed around a few statement details. Inlay pieces from Symphony work best as accents; a few feature cabinets carry the line better than running it throughout a long kitchen. For modern minimalist kitchens, the Ice and Armadio lines cover cleaner profiles at the same construction standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of buyer is Schaub and Company hardware made for?
Schaub and Company is positioned for custom or near-custom cabinetry projects where the buyer wants hardware that's clearly handmade rather than die-cast. Its solid bronze and inlay pieces sit at the upper end of the category for both price and weight, and distribution is showroom and architectural/design-focused rather than retail. The line fits kitchens and baths designed around a few statement details.
What makes the Schaub Symphony collection different from typical cabinet hardware?
Symphony is Schaub's gallery line, built with cast-in inlays of stone, shell, mother-of-pearl, and wood worked directly into the cast piece. It uses materials that don't appear in mainstream cabinet hardware, which is why it sits apart at this category's price points. These inlay pieces work best as accents on a few feature cabinets rather than running throughout a long kitchen.
Is Schaub and Company hardware always in stock and quick to ship?
Not necessarily. Schaub's production is mixed, with both stocked lines and made-to-order pieces appearing in the catalog. Lead time depends on the specific collection, so it should be confirmed for the chosen line before assuming a quick ship.
How does Schaub's Symphony inlay line compare to its Mountain Cast Bronze collection?
Symphony is the gallery line, defined by cast-in natural-material inlays of stone, shell, mother-of-pearl, and wood, and is best used as an accent on feature cabinets. Mountain Cast Bronze is solid bronze offered in four patinated finishes that pick up character with age rather than wearing out. Both reflect Schaub's heavyweight, upper-end construction, but Symphony emphasizes decorative inlay while Mountain Cast Bronze emphasizes durable patinated metal.
