Lion in Winter

Edgar Berebi Lion in Winter medieval-English cabinet hardware

Edgar Berebi Lion in Winter is the brand's Plantagenet-medieval family, the line named for the 12th-century English court of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. The line is built around heraldic-medieval reference. Where Hyde Park reads as 19th-century English-Park-Lane formality and Greco II reaches into classical antiquity, Lion in Winter anchors in earlier medieval English vocabulary. Heraldic-shield bail backs, low-relief lion-passant medallions. It a heavier, more stone-carved reading than the brand's later-period English lines. Each piece is hand-finished in the United States and built per order; expect 6-8 weeks from order to door.

What sets Lion in Winter apart

The lion-passant medallion is the line's identifier. Most Berebi knob faces use scrolled rosettes or floral motifs; Lion in Winter places a low-relief heraldic lion at the knob center, paired with a shield-shaped bail back that reads as medieval-stone-carved rather than 18th-century-French-scrolled. The vocabulary keeps the line distinctly Plantagenet-medieval, not Tudor or Georgian. The line reads consistent against the cabinetry it was designed for.

Buying considerations

Lion in Winter fits English-medieval kitchens, castle-revival library built-ins, hunting-lodge dressing rooms, and any cabinetry reaching for heraldic-medieval reference. Painted inset doors in deep oxblood, hunter green, slate, and stone-grey give the line the right backdrop. Brushed antique brass and brushed bronze are the natural finish picks. The 6-8 week made-to-order window applies.
