Brushed antique brass versus brushed brass
Brushed antique brass generally has a deeper,
darker, and more aged appearance than standard
brushed brass cabinet hardware.
Regular brushed brass usually appears brighter and more uniform,
while brushed antique brass is designed to have more vintage-inspired
color and character.
Finish color, brushing, undertones, and intentional aging can vary
between products. When matching faucets, lighting, door hardware, or
existing cabinet hardware, 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. Matching the existing hole
spacing allows replacement pulls to use the holes already drilled in
the cabinet.

the specific finish name and product images when coordinating pieces.
