Century Hardware Regal cabinet hardware
The Century Hardware Regal line is the short-handle browse view of the brand's Regal Collection. The formal-ornamented traditional family drawing on royal-classical decorative vocabulary translated into solid cabinet hardware. Regal pulls feature substantial bail-backs with classical scrollwork, knob faces with central decorative medallions, and the broader vocabulary of formal-traditional palace and estate decorative tradition. Century Hardware operates from Hartland, Wisconsin; hardware ships from stock with most orders moving within 1-2 business days.
What identifies Regal
The formal classical ornament is the visual fingerprint. Where Hartford and Plymouth carry quieter Colonial-American restraint, Regal commits to overtly ornamented royal-classical detail: heavier bail-back scrollwork, decorative medallions at the center of the knob face, and matching backplates with formal classical borders. The line uses warm antique brass, polished brass, and antique-gold finishes that read most period-appropriate.
Where Regal fits
The line specifies on formal estate kitchens, on libraries and study built-ins in palace-influenced architecture, on butler's pantries with substantial millwork, on dressing-room cabinetry in homes with formal-traditional decorative tradition, and on hospitality projects in restored period buildings. Painted inset cabinetry in deep heritage tones (forest, oxblood, navy, aged-cream) gives the line its strongest backdrop. Stained-mahogany and stained-cherry millwork pair especially well with the warmer brass finishes. The line reads less at home on quieter contemporary cabinetry where the formal ornament feels out of place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cabinet styles and room types is Century Hardware Regal hardware designed for?
The Regal line is specified for formal estate kitchens, libraries and study built-ins, butler's pantries with substantial millwork, dressing-room cabinetry, and hospitality projects in restored period buildings. It is best suited to painted inset cabinetry in deep heritage tones such as forest, oxblood, navy, and aged-cream, as well as stained-mahogany and stained-cherry millwork. The line is a poorer fit for quieter contemporary cabinetry, where its heavy classical ornament reads out of place.
What finishes are available on Century Hardware Regal, and which are most period-appropriate?
Regal is offered in warm antique brass, polished brass, and antique-gold finishes. Of those, the warmer brass options — antique brass and antique gold — are considered most period-appropriate for the line's royal-classical decorative vocabulary. These finishes complement the scrollwork, decorative medallions, and formal classical borders that define the collection.
How does Century Hardware Regal differ from the brand's Hartford and Plymouth lines?
All three are traditional lines, but Hartford and Plymouth carry quieter Colonial-American restraint, whereas Regal commits to overtly ornamented royal-classical detail. Regal distinguishes itself with heavier bail-back scrollwork, decorative medallions centered on the knob face, and matching backplates with formal classical borders — details drawn from palace and estate decorative tradition rather than the more subdued colonial idiom.
How quickly does Century Hardware Regal ship, and where does it ship from?
Century Hardware operates out of Hartland, Wisconsin, and ships Regal hardware from stock. Most orders move within one to two business days of placement.
