Top Knobs Britannia Collection cabinet hardware
The Top Knobs Britannia Collection gathers cabinet knobs and pulls with English names: Victoria, Canterbury, Devon, Empress, Eton, Oxford, and Warwick, along with a set of Square and Square Inset pieces. Most of the line is round knobs, many with surface detail, a rim design, or grooves, backed by straight, curved, cup, and appliance pulls. The shapes range from rustic cast iron pieces to simpler transitional knobs.
Knobs and backplates
Round knobs make up most of the collection. The Empress knob is 1 3/8 inches across, while the Victoria, Canterbury, and Devon knobs are 1 1/4 inches. Victoria and Canterbury pair the knob with a backplate, which adds a decorative outline behind the knob on the door face. The Square and Square Inset knobs, in 1 1/4, 1 5/16, and 2 inch sizes, give a plainer, more angular option for the same run of cabinets.
Pulls for drawers and tall doors
The Eton, Oxford, and Warwick pulls mount at 3 3/4 inch centers, a common spacing for kitchen drawers. A cup pull at 2 1/2 inch centers suits smaller drawers, and the Channel pull covers 6 5/16 inch centers. The Square Inset pulls run from 5 1/16 up to 18 inch centers, and together with the appliance pulls they give you lengths for wide drawers, pantry doors, and appliance panels.
Finishes
Britannia comes in antique pewter, German bronze, oil rubbed bronze, Tuscan bronze, Old English copper, polished chrome, and cast iron. Not every piece comes in every finish, so check the finish on each product before you plan a full kitchen. The bronzes, copper, and cast iron settle into heritage paint colors and wood cabinetry, while polished chrome reads brighter and cleaner. If you are matching other hardware in the room, order one piece in your chosen finish first and see it on your cabinets.
Where Britannia fits
The collection suits traditional, farmhouse, and transitional kitchens, painted inset cabinets, butler's pantries, and bath vanities that want hardware with some weight and detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cabinet styles and room types does the Top Knobs Britannia Collection suit?
The Britannia Collection is designed for Federal, Georgian-revival, and English country interiors. It fits painted inset cabinetry in heritage colors, formal dining-adjacent kitchens, and butler's pantries with glass-front uppers. Against contemporary slab cabinetry the shield backplate reads as costume, and against farmhouse-rustic kitchens it competes with the architecture.
What hardware types and finishes does the Britannia Collection include?
The collection includes round and square knobs, knobs mounted on backplates, cup pulls, curved, channel, and straight pulls, square inset pulls in lengths up to 18 inch centers, and appliance pulls. Finishes vary by design and include antique pewter, German bronze, oil rubbed bronze, Tuscan bronze, Old English copper, polished chrome, and cast iron, so check each listing for the finish you want before mixing pieces.
How does the Top Knobs Britannia Collection compare to the Barrington Collection?
Both collections sit within Top Knobs' English country territory, but they differ in hardware form. Britannia features shield-shaped backplates, substantial knob bodies, and bar pulls with ridged top edges referencing period door hardware. Barrington features cast scroll cup pulls, making it the adjacent option for that specific hardware form.
What should be confirmed before specifying Britannia hardware across a full kitchen?
Confirm the center-to-center spacing of each pull against your drawers, and check that knobs with backplates fit the flat area of the door stile without crowding the edge. Finishes differ from one Britannia design to the next, so make sure every piece you want comes in the same finish. Trying one piece on your actual cabinetry before ordering for a full kitchen is also a good idea.
