Oil rubbed bronze, antique bronze, and aged bronze

Shoppers sometimes use terms such as antique bronze, aged bronze, and rubbed bronze when searching for dark, warm-toned cabinet hardware. These finish names are not always interchangeable, however. Color, undertones, highlights, and sheen can vary between manufacturers and product lines.

Oil rubbed bronze may appear nearly black in some lighting, while other pieces show more visible brown, copper, or bronze undertones. When an exact match to existing faucets, lighting, or door hardware is important, consider ordering a sample before purchasing a full project quantity.

Replacing existing cabinet pulls?

Measure from the center of one mounting hole to the center of the other. This is the pull’s center-to-center or hole-spacing measurement. See our cabinet hardware measuring guide before ordering replacement pulls.
