Somerset

Top Knobs Somerset cabinet hardware

Somerset is the brand's original refined-English-country family. The collection runs gentle scroll detail along the lower rim of the cup pulls. An oval knob body sits between full traditional and softer transitional shapes. The line is named for Somerset County, NJ, the brand's home county. It represents Top Knobs' interpretation of restrained traditional hardware. Hardware ships from stock, with most orders moving within 1-2 business days.

What Somerset does specifically

The scroll detail on the cup-pull lower rim is the line's defining feature. Most cup pulls in this price range carry a flat rim or a simple rolled edge. Somerset adds a quiet decorative curl that reads at countertop height. The oval knob bodies repeat the soft curve. They sit slightly horizontal rather than perfectly round, which gives a clear preferred axis when installed. The line skips the heavier cast scrollwork of more ornate traditional families.

Buying considerations

Honey bronze deepens the scroll shadow into a soft warm line. Polished nickel sharpens it. The cup-pull scrolls catch incidental crumbs and splatter slightly more than fully smooth rims. Somerset cups want regular wipe-down on lower kitchen drawers near a cooktop. The line is also one of the brand's quieter traditional picks, making it usable on transitional projects that want a soft English accent rather than full period reference. The Somerset cup pulls pair well with painted shaker cabinetry in cream, sage, and grayed lavender. The oval knob axis means installation orientation matters — confirm hand on the order before assembly.
