Antique Bronze Furniture Handle, Bow Shape with Grip Gap, for Drawer and Cabinet

The kitchen should look older than it is

Smooth fronts from a furniture store, straight edges, everything new – and that's exactly what it looks like. This antique bronze die-cast zinc handle adds the touch of wear that the piece of furniture is missing: the surface is more worn at the edges than in the middle, just like a fitting that has been handled for years.

What distinguishes this handle from a plain bar handle

• Two feet with a gap for gripping: The bar stands off the front, allowing fingers to grip from underneath. You never touch the painted surface when opening – which is why no grease marks form around such handles.
• Unevenly worn aging: The bronze is lighter at the edges than on the surface, creating a depth that a uniformly colored surface lacks.
• Set-off top edge with a continuous bevel: The edge breaks the light and draws a fine line along the entire length, instead of appearing as a flat band.
• Die-cast zinc with electroplated coating: The casting provides a tangible weight when pulling. A handle made of rolled sheet metal would spring back at this point.
• Shallow depth of 2 cm (0.8 in): The handle is barely noticeable and stays out of the way in narrow kitchen aisles.
• Two mounting points: The two-hole screw fastening prevents the handle from twisting over time – the most common point of wear for single-hole knobs.

Suitable for country-style or vintage kitchen fronts, for chests of drawers and sideboards from furniture stores, for old pieces of furniture with worn-out fittings, for wardrobes and bathroom cabinets, and for tenants who want to swap handles and refit them when moving out.

How many handles do I get, and will they fit existing holes?

The price is for a single piece – select the quantity during checkout to ensure all fronts are equipped. The hole spacing is crucial: measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other on an existing front and choose the appropriate version, otherwise you will have to drill new holes. Also check the front thickness to ensure the screws are neither too short nor protrude on the inside. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; do not use abrasive cleaners or acidic cleaners, as they will partially remove the artificial aging and leave the surface stained.

Your kitchen will no longer look like a showroom piece, but like a room where cooking has been done for years.
