Gold cabinet knobs from brushed to burnished
Gold covers a wide band of warm finishes on cabinet hardware: brushed gold with a soft satin surface, modern brushed gold that leans cooler and more contemporary, burnished and antiqued golds where the recesses stay dark, and bright polished versions that behave like a warm mirror. Grouping them here lets you compare the tones directly, which is difficult when they sit in separate brand catalogs.
Who makes the gold knobs here
Edgar Berebi supplies the largest share, with Carpe Diem Hardware, Amerock, Berenson, Jeffrey Alexander and the Urban Metro line behind it. Shapes run from plain and round knobs through surface-design rounds, classic squares, intricate decorative pieces and glass-faced squares. Style tags lean contemporary and transitional, with traditional, modern and Arts and Crafts pieces filling out the range.
Sizes and mounting
Diameters cluster around 1-3/16, 1-1/4 and 1-3/8 inches, with some decorative pieces at 1-1/2 and 1-3/4 inches where the motif needs room. A 1-1/4 inch knob is the standard for kitchen doors and drawers. Knobs mount on a single screw, so the measurement that matters is screw length against drawer front thickness rather than any center spacing.
What gold pairs with
Gold does its best work against navy, deep green, black and white cabinetry, and it mixes cleanly with black hardware when you want contrast without a second warm metal. Keep one finish dominant if you mix. Brushed golds hide fingerprints better than polished ones, which matters on a base drawer that gets opened twenty times a day. Gold also reads very differently under warm and cool bulbs: the same brushed gold can look brassy under incandescent light and almost champagne under a cool LED, so judge it under the lighting the room actually has. French gold knobs in glam kitchens and how to mix cabinet hardware finishes cover the pairing question.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between brushed gold and polished gold?
Brushed gold has a soft satin surface with fine grain lines that hide fingerprints; polished gold is bright and reflective and shows marks more readily. Burnished and antiqued golds leave the recesses dark for a more traditional read.
What size gold knob is standard?
1-1/4 inch is the usual diameter for kitchen doors and drawers. This page also carries 1-3/16 and 1-3/8 inch sizes, with decorative pieces up to about 1-3/4 inches.
Can I see the tone before buying a set?
Yes. Order one knob as a sample and the cost is refunded with your full order. Gold shifts noticeably between LED and incandescent light, so judging it in your own room is worth the step.
