In short: the Alexander & Wicks Brass Knob Luxury Brushed Finish is a brass cabinet knob from the Brass Essence range, in 2 sizes — best for traditional and transitional kitchens wanting a classic ribbed knob profile.

Product Code: B-0002

The Alexander & Wicks Brass Knob carries a fine horizontal ribbing across its round solid brass body, brushed to a soft gold sheen, in two sizes — 25mm and 28mm diameter — a classic beehive-style profile suited to traditional and transitional cabinetry.

The ribbed texture is machined directly into the solid brass rather than applied as a surface coating, which is why the ridges stay crisp and defined even after years of daily handling — a pressed or plated ribbing would flatten at the high-contact points long before solid brass shows similar wear.

Because the knob is solid brass through its full body rather than a plated base metal, it carries genuine weight in the hand — a small but noticeable detail that separates it from a lighter zinc alloy knob of similar size, and one reason solid brass hardware tends to read as more substantial.

Between the two sizes, 25mm suits smaller drawer fronts and narrower cabinet doors, while 28mm gives a slightly larger, more substantial grip for wider doors — both share the identical ribbed profile and brushed gold finish, so mixing sizes across a kitchen keeps the look consistent.

Brushed gold is chosen over a high-gloss polish specifically because it resists showing fingerprints and light handling marks, a practical benefit on a knob gripped multiple times daily. The name nods to the classic English hardware houses this beehive profile is traditionally associated with, a style that's remained largely unchanged for decades because the proportions simply work.

What is the Alexander & Wicks Brass Knob Luxury Brushed Finish?

The Alexander & Wicks Brass Knob Luxury Brushed Finish is a brass cabinet knob from the Brass Essence range. According to the Copper Development Association's technical data on brass, brass alloys are valued industrially for combining good strength with strong corrosion resistance, a balance that comes directly from the copper-zinc mix, which is part of why brass is a genuinely practical choice for hardware that gets handled daily, not just a decorative one.

Is this knob solid brass or brass-plated?

Solid brass throughout — not a plated base metal — which is what gives the knob its weight and why the machined ribbing stays sharply defined rather than wearing flat over years of handling.

Which size should I choose for a standard kitchen cabinet?

25mm works well for smaller drawer fronts and narrower doors, while 28mm gives a slightly larger, more substantial grip better suited to wider cabinet doors — both share the same ribbed design and finish.

Why is the finish brushed rather than polished to a high shine?

A brushed finish resists showing fingerprints and light handling marks far better than a mirror-polished surface, which matters on a knob that gets gripped repeatedly throughout the day.
