Brushed Bronze Cabinet Knobs

Brushed bronze cabinet knobs and where they sit in the bronze family

Brushed bronze is a mid-tone brown metal with a grained, low-sheen surface. It is deeper and more neutral than honey bronze and much lighter than oil rubbed bronze, so it gives warmth without the heavy contrast a near-black finish puts on a pale cabinet. The brushing is what keeps fingerprints and smudges from showing, which makes it an easy finish to live with on a working kitchen door.

Who makes the brushed bronze knobs here

Top Knobs and Schaub and Company supply this page. Shapes include plain knobs, classic rounds, modern faces, round grooved and rim-design rounds, and a surface-design round, so there is range across a fairly short list. Style tags run modern and transitional with ornamental, rustic and Art Nouveau pieces, which is a wider spread than the finish name suggests.

Sizes and mounting

These sit in the standard decorative knob range, around 1-1/4 inches, with smaller options down near 5/8 inch for furniture and inset doors. Knobs take a single screw, so no center-to-center measurement applies. Check the supplied screw length against your drawer front thickness if the fronts are thick or have applied moulding, since the screw in the box assumes a standard panel.

Brushed bronze against honey bronze

Honey bronze is lighter and golden; brushed bronze is deeper and more neutral, with visible grain. In a room with brass fixtures honey bronze coordinates more easily; where the fixtures are dark or mixed, brushed bronze is the safer neighbour. Bronze of any tone also pairs well with wood, which is why it shows up so often on walnut and oak fronts where a cool metal would look grafted on. Honey bronze vs brushed bronze works through the comparison, and brushed bronze knobs on bathroom vanities shows the finish in a small room.
