Richelieu Hardware Cherbourg Collection

Richelieu Hardware Cherbourg Collection cabinet hardware

The Richelieu Hardware Cherbourg Collection is a mixed-material line spanning ceramic, wood, and metal across several styles. Within Richelieu's deep cabinet program, Cherbourg is one of the variety families, gathering knobs and pulls that combine a ceramic or wood element with a metal base.

What identifies the Cherbourg look

The line is defined by material mix rather than one silhouette. It pairs glazed ceramic with metal in pulls and knobs, adds metal-and-wood knobs, and includes plain ceramic knobs, ranging from traditional through eclectic and modern readings. The ceramic pieces bring a smooth glazed face and a softer, hand-finished character, while the metal bases tie them to standard cabinetry. Finishes vary by piece, with darker and lighter metal grounds setting off the ceramic and wood elements differently.

Buying considerations

Cherbourg suits traditional, French country, eclectic, and transitional kitchens and baths where a ceramic or wood accent is wanted over all-metal hardware. The ceramic-and-metal pulls work well on drawer fronts where the glazed element shows; the ceramic knobs suit doors and small drawers. The wood-and-metal knobs warm the line further for rustic rooms. Because this family deliberately mixes materials and substyles, pick pieces that share a metal ground and a coherent ceramic tone so the room still reads as one set rather than a grab bag. Ceramic faces resist fingerprints better than polished metal in heavy-use spots, and they wipe clean of kitchen grease quickly. The plain ceramic knobs suit small doors where a mixed-material piece would feel busy. The metal-and-wood knobs warm the line for rustic and farmhouse rooms that want a softer touch than ceramic. Pairing the ceramic-and-metal pulls on drawers with ceramic knobs on doors keeps the material story consistent across the room. Lighter metal grounds keep the ceramic bright, while darker grounds give the same piece a more traditional, settled look.
