Jeffrey Alexander Boswell Collection

Jeffrey Alexander Boswell Collection cabinet hardware

The Boswell Collection is one of Jeffrey Alexander's straight bar-pull lines, a clean handle that reads equally at home in contemporary and transitional kitchens. It is a pull-led line built around a single consistent profile.

What identifies the Boswell look

Boswell is a smooth round bar pull with squared feet, no knurling, taper, or end caps, so the styling lives in proportion rather than ornament. The sample line spans 96mm, 192mm, and 224mm centers, covering standard doors through wide drawer banks. What distinguishes Boswell within the brand is its even, unbroken bar, a deliberately plain profile that carries finish well across a large kitchen. Matte black and brushed oil-rubbed bronze deepen it, while satin nickel, polished chrome, and a brushed nickel blend keep it cool and clean.

Buying considerations

Boswell fits contemporary and transitional kitchens where the cabinetry does the styling and the hardware should stay disciplined. The straight-bar format rarely dates, which makes it a sound choice for spec builds and rentals where longevity matters more than statement. The graduated centers up to 224mm let hardware scale to drawer width while holding one profile, the 224mm on wide banks, the 96mm on doors. The five-finish run, satin nickel, polished chrome, matte black, brushed oil-rubbed bronze, and a brushed nickel blend, covers warm and cool schemes. This is a pull-only line, so pair a simple round or bar knob from the brand if doors need separate hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cabinet door and drawer styles work best with the Boswell Collection?

The Boswell Collection suits contemporary and transitional kitchens where cabinetry carries the design and hardware is meant to stay understated. Its smooth, unbroken bar with squared feet and no ornamentation makes it a practical fit for spec builds and rentals where a non-trend-specific profile matters. Because it is a pull-only line, doors that require a knob need a separate compatible piece from the Jeffrey Alexander range.

What center-to-center sizes does the Boswell Collection come in, and how do they correspond to typical cabinet sizes?

Boswell pulls are available in 96mm, 192mm, and 224mm center-to-center measurements. The 96mm size is standard for cabinet doors, the 192mm works across mid-size drawers, and the 224mm is scaled for wide drawer banks. Keeping one profile across all three sizes allows a consistent look throughout a kitchen even when hardware scales up with drawer width.

How does the Boswell Collection compare to the Jeffrey Alexander Cade Collection?

Both Boswell and Cade are straight bar pulls within the Jeffrey Alexander line, but Boswell uses a smooth, unbroken bar surface while the Cade Collection offers a textured bar alternative. Boswell's plain profile relies on proportion and finish for its character, making it the more disciplined choice where a completely flat surface is preferred. Cade suits situations where surface texture is the intended design detail.

What finishes are available in the Boswell Collection, and do they suit both warm and cool kitchen color schemes?

The Boswell Collection is offered in five finishes: satin nickel, polished chrome, matte black, brushed oil-rubbed bronze, and a brushed nickel blend. Matte black and brushed oil-rubbed bronze read as warmer and darker tones, while satin nickel, polished chrome, and the brushed nickel blend are cooler and lighter. This range means the same bar profile can coordinate with both warm wood cabinetry and cool painted or lacquered finishes.
