These vintage brass cupboard knobs are made from solid brass with a bronze finish and come with a matching backplate. Choose from three round knob heads and two backplates: Style A is a ball knob, Style B a domed mushroom knob and Style C a round knob with a ringed face, and each knob is available with backplate D or E.
The ball knob sits on a short, narrow neck with a flat disc foot, while the mushroom and ringed knobs rise from a flared, tapering stem. Backplate D is an elongated plate with shaped, notched ends and a raised stepped border; backplate E is a round plate with a raised rope-twist border around a plain centre.
The knob and backplate separate, and the backplate can cover existing holes in the cupboard. Each knob fixes through a single hole and comes with 25mm and 40mm M4 screws.
Use them as cupboard door knobs or drawer knobs, including on chests of drawers.

Size guide
Hole centres and overall length are two different measurements. Here’s how to check both for a handle with two fixing holes.
01 For the right fit
Measure from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the other. Use a ruler marked in millimetres.
Replacing existing handles? Match the distance between the centres of the holes already in your door or drawer.
02 For the overall size
Measure the full length of the handle, from one end to the other. This tells you how much space it takes up.
Check the space available. Handles with the same hole centres can have different overall lengths.
Diagrams show a two-fixing handle from the back. For handles with three or more fixing holes, check every fixing position in the product’s dimension drawing.
If you're replacing a handle with the same fixing method, check that the new handle's hole centres match the existing holes. Cupboard doors and drawers may have different hole spacing, so check both before ordering. See our Size Guide for help with measuring.
Door and drawer front thicknesses vary, so the supplied screws may not suit every installation. Check the fixing details in What's Included & Installation. If you need a different length, make sure the replacement screws have the correct thread for your chosen handle.
You can use one length throughout, or mix lengths within the same design. Longer handles are an option for wide drawers and tall cupboard doors. Before choosing, mark out the overall length on your furniture with masking tape to compare the proportions. For existing holes, check the hole centres first.
Finishes with the same name can look different across products and brands. A brass or gold finish may be warmer, paler or more yellow than your existing fittings. For the closest match, choose the same colour from the same collection. If you're matching another brand, compare a physical sample in the room where it will be used.
Check Specifications for the material used in your chosen design. A gold or bronze colour does not necessarily mean solid brass. For routine dusting, use a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Care requirements vary by finish; contact us for advice on a particular finish or how it wears over time.
Check the shape and side view, including the space available for your fingers. For an edge pull, consider how you'll reach and grip it on the door or drawer. Allow enough clearance from nearby doors, walls and worktops. A product sample can help you judge the feel before ordering a full set.
Yes. Contact us with the product, colour and your delivery postcode. We'll confirm availability, cost and delivery before you pay. Ask for a product sample if you want to check the weight and grip as well as the colour. A finish swatch won't show how the handle feels in use. See our Samples page for details.
