The Richelieu Hardware Gatineau Collection is a traditional knob line, built around a classic turned metal and solid-brass knob with a period silhouette. The traditional turned profile is the signature, distinct from the brand's flatter contemporary families. It is a restoration-friendly choice for framed cabinetry.
What identifies the Gatineau look
This is a knob-only family with no pulls. Knobs come in both a general metal version and a solid-brass version, in finishes including antique English, oil rubbed bronze, and warm brass tones. The rounded, turned form reads classic rather than modern, suited to framed and inset cabinetry where a period knob is expected. The brass option gives a heavier, more substantial knob for restoration-minded work, while the metal version is lighter and simpler. The shaping itself, not any applied stone or glass, carries the period look.
Buying considerations
This line suits traditional, farmhouse, and period kitchens and baths where a turned knob fits the cabinet style. Because there are no pulls, plan a knob-led layout or pair a coordinating Richelieu pull on wide drawers where a knob alone is impractical to grip. The solid-brass version suits restoration projects that want weight and an aging surface over time; the metal version is the lighter, lower-cost choice for the same look. Oil rubbed bronze and antique English deepen the traditional read; brighter brass keeps it more formal. Match the knob version to the room's other hardware weight so the cabinetry feels consistent. Choose the body, brass or metal, before finish, since it changes both feel and heft.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cabinet hardware is in the Richelieu Gatineau Collection?
The Gatineau Collection is a knob-only line — there are no pulls in the family. The knobs feature a traditional turned metal or solid-brass construction with a period silhouette, suited to framed and inset cabinetry where a classic rounded knob fits the style.
What is the difference between the solid-brass and metal versions of the Gatineau knob?
The solid-brass version is heavier and more substantial, making it a better fit for restoration projects where weight and a surface that ages over time are desirable. The metal version delivers the same turned profile at a lighter weight and lower cost, suited to traditional or farmhouse cabinetry where the look matters more than material authenticity.
How does the Gatineau Collection compare to Richelieu's contemporary hardware families?
The Gatineau's defining feature is its rounded, turned profile — a period silhouette that the brand's flatter contemporary families do not share. Where contemporary Richelieu lines tend toward minimal, geometric forms, the Gatineau is specifically shaped for traditional, farmhouse, and period kitchens and baths where a classic knob is expected.
Can the Gatineau knob be used on drawers as well as cabinet doors?
Because the Gatineau Collection contains no pulls, knob-only layouts need planning on wide drawers where a single knob is impractical to grip. The recommended approach is to pair a coordinating Richelieu pull on wide drawers while using Gatineau knobs on doors, keeping the hardware weight consistent across the cabinetry.
