Monticello Brass Cabinet Hardware

Monticello brass: the warmer sibling to Monticello silver

Monticello brass cabinet hardware runs through the same Schaub and Company French Court and Cantata collections as Monticello silver, but the tone shifts from cool silver to a warm, muted brass, without the bright gleam polished brass usually carries. It covers the same ornate, traditional hardware shapes: swag pulls, oblong knobs, and backplated knobs, just in a different metal color from its sibling finish.

Choosing brass over silver in this line

Monticello brass suits kitchens and baths already carrying warm metal elsewhere, whether that's brass faucets, warm-toned wood, or aged lighting fixtures, where a cool silver finish would clash with everything else nearby. Since this version is muted rather than polished, it avoids the overly formal look that bright brass can bring to a traditionally styled kitchen or powder room.

What sets brass apart from the silver line

Monticello brass is molded in the identical shapes as Monticello silver: the same swag pulls, the same oblong and round knobs, the same knob-with-backplate option. Choosing between them is a color decision, not a fit decision, since every silhouette exists in both finishes. Brass does tend to develop a warmer, slightly uneven patina with handling as time passes, whereas the silver version holds a more consistent, uniform tone across its life.

Matching collections before you order

French Court and Cantata share the Monticello brass finish but not drill centers, so match the collection name — not only the color — to your existing hardware. Backplated knobs suit doors that previously carried a larger traditional fitting, while Cantata's round and oval knobs work better on drawers with tighter spacing between screws.
