Matte Black w/Brushed Gold Cabinet Hardware

Matte black meets brushed gold, up close

This two-tone finish combines a flat, non-reflective matte black body with polished brushed-gold accents at the tips or edges, giving cabinet hardware a two-part look instead of one flat coating. Jeffrey Alexander's Larkin and Key Grande lines build the pairing into bar pulls, bar knobs, and matching appliance hardware alike, each piece finished with the same gold detailing throughout the collection, so a kitchen's worth of hardware reads as one intentional finish rather than several close-but-not-quite matches pulled from different product lines.

What the two-tone finish does for a kitchen

The matte black body reads as the dominant color from a distance, keeping the overall look grounded and modern, while the brushed gold detail catches light at close range without turning the whole piece shiny. It's a middle path between an all-black kitchen and a full brass or gold one; the black body carries almost every bit of the visual load, with warmth showing up only where fingers actually grip the pull. That balance is why it works in kitchens that want warmth without going fully into a metallic gold scheme across every surface.

Sizing and matching within the line

The bar pulls start at a compact 60mm option and top out at a substantial 305mm model, hole spacing given center-to-center, with matching appliance pulls sized for smaller and larger panels alike. Because the gold accent sits at a fixed spot on each piece, typically the end caps, pulls and knobs sharing this finish line up consistently once mounted next to each other, whether that's a compact drawer knob or a long pull mounted on a refrigerator panel.

How this finish suits a kitchen

Matte black with brushed gold suits contemporary kitchens already using black fixtures, faucets, or window frames, where an all-black hardware run would otherwise flatten out. For a warmer, single-tone alternative, compare gold or black on their own.
