Crafted from solid brass, this 38mm knob features the iconic stepped-tiered round rose that defines the Victorian aesthetic, providing both a substantial feel and a sophisticated visual profile.

Why Choose the 38mm Victorian Knob?

1. Superior Ergonomics

The 38mm diameter is the "Goldilocks" size for cabinetry. It is large enough to be a statement piece on heavy wardrobe doors but scaled perfectly for standard kitchen drawers. The smooth, rounded edges offer a comfortable, ergonomic grip that cheaper, smaller alternatives lack.

2. Period Authenticity

Unlike modern "minimalist" knobs, the Victorian style features a tiered rose (the base). This detail hides previous screw holes or marks from old hardware, making it the perfect choice for upcycling projects or historic restoration.

3. Versatile Styling

While "Victorian" by name, the clean lines of the polished chrome or matt black finishes allow these knobs to sit comfortably in contemporary "Shaker" style kitchens, bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use these on my kitchen drawers?

A: Absolutely. The 38mm size is highly recommended for drawers over 400mm wide. For very large drawers, many designers prefer to use two knobs spaced evenly for a balanced look.

Q: What size screw do I need?

A: We supply standard M4 bolts (usually 25mm length). If your cabinet doors are exceptionally thick, these can be easily swapped for longer M4 screws available at any hardware store.

Q: How do I maintain the finish?

A: For lacquered finishes (like Polished Brass or Chrome), simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can strip the protective lacquer. Unlacquered brass will develop a natural patina over time—you can polish it back to a shine or let it age gracefully.

Q: Is it easy to install?

A: Yes. Installation requires a single hole. We recommend using a cabinet hardware template to ensure consistent placement across all your doors.
