Carpe Diem Hardware Cricket Cage Collection cabinet hardware
The Cricket Cage Collection is Carpe Diem's braced long-pull line, named for the open framework formed by a center bar and a supporting center brace running between the posts. It is built for appliance-scale fronts, where the brace adds both structure and a distinctive caged silhouette that no plain bar pull carries.
What identifies the Cricket Cage look
Pulls run long, with 12-inch, 18-inch, and 22-inch center-to-center spacings common across the line. Each pull carries a 5/8-inch center bar in smooth or reeded face, a large turned finial at each post, and the signature center brace tying the span together. The brace is the throughline, giving the pull an architectural, gated profile that reads from across the room and marks this as a deliberate focal piece rather than a quiet handle.
Choosing within the line
Cricket Cage suits traditional and Old World kitchens and furniture-style islands where a long appliance pull is meant to be a centerpiece. Finishes run gilded mercury, soft gold, and antique brass tones, all warm metals that suit the ornamental form. The reeded center bar adds a fine vertical groove for texture and shadow; the smooth bar keeps the brace and finials as the only detail. Because the brace makes the pull visually heavy, it works best on larger panels where there is room for the form to read without crowding the door.
