Highlighted Bronze Cabinet Hardware

Highlighted bronze cabinet hardware: Schaub's Sunburst pattern across six HLB pieces

Sunburst's HLB run covers a bail pull with rosettes (978-HLB, 5-1/2 inches), a ring pull mounted on its own backplate (977-HLB), a plain pull (975S-HLB, 5 inches), and three round knobs at slightly different diameters, two of which, 974-HLB and 970-HLB, ship with a backplate built in. The rosettes on the bail pull sit as separate cast pieces at each mounting point, not stamped into the bar itself, one reason that particular piece costs more to produce than the plain 975S pull does. All six items share the same HLB suffix regardless of shape, so a mixed order of pulls and knobs still checks out under one consistent finish code.

What highlighted actually describes

Ridged rays cut into every Sunburst casting catch more light on their raised edge than the background between them holds onto, so a single piece reads as two shades of bronze rather than one flat color. That contrast is a casting result, not a second paint step brushed on after the fact, so it survives normal wear far longer than a painted highlight would.

A backplate on some pieces, not all

970-HLB and 974-HLB both ship with their backplate attached, useful for a door carrying an old, slightly oversized hole from prior hardware; 972-HLB stands alone without one. The item number is the only reliable way to tell them apart before checkout, since a plain knob and its backplated twin can look identical in a small thumbnail photo. Buyers replacing hardware gradually, one drawer at a time, benefit most from picking the backplated version up front.

Plainer bronze for less contrast

Dropping the sunburst texture for a flatter surface lands at bronze cabinet hardware. For more contrast than bronze offers in either direction, black cabinet hardware pushes further toward dark and matte, dropping the metallic sheen the Sunburst casting relies on entirely.
