While trends may come and go, timeless pieces never go out of style. Traditional cabinet hardware offers a way to add charm and character to your space, particularly if you live in a period property. As enthusiasts of quality ironmongery, we’re excited to share with you some of our favourite traditional styles of From The Anvil cabinet hardware!
1. The Regency Collection
Inspired by the historic era after which it was named, the Regency collection prioritises elegance and grandeur without overpowering its surroundings. The engraved detailing of each piece is aesthetically pleasing and offers an ergonomic grip to support the hand. Traditionally, the Regency period would favour hardware made from brass or bronze; we think the Aged Brass finish is a perfect choice for this range. From The Anvil’s Regency collection features drawer pulls, cabinet knobs and pull handles, with door and window furniture also available to complete the look.

2. The Beehive Collection
Named after its distinctive hive-like shape, the Beehive collection features concentric rings which decorate the handle of the knob. In addition to serving as an attractive focal point, these rings also improve the ergonomic value of the product. From The Anvil offer two styles of Beehive cabinet knobs; wooden and solid metal. The Wooden Beehive knobs are the most traditional, and are formed from Rosewood or Ebonised Rosewood, with a Polished Nickel or Aged Brass rose. The other Beehive knobs are forged from solid metal and are available across 11 finishes, with the rose forming part of the knob itself. These knobs are an ideal choice if you’re looking to coordinate with your door and window hardware; for this, we recommend the Reeded and Hinton collections which feature similar ornate detailing.

3. The Oval Collection
The simplicity of From The Anvil’s Oval cabinet knobs pinpoints exactly why they’re so popular. Their smooth shape and sleek design make them incredibly versatile for use in a range of interiors. Originally, the Oval cabinet knobs were released in the Blacksmith finishes (Beeswax, Black, and Pewter Patina) which are forged from mild steel and are fitted without a rose. Due to their popularity, From The Anvil then released a second Oval cabinet knob design across 6 Period finishes, crafted from brass and bronze, with each being fitted to a matching rose. An Oval mortice/rim knob set and escutcheon are also available for coordination across door and cabinet hardware.

4. The Gothic Collection
From The Anvil’s Gothic collection draws inspiration from the classic Fleur-de-Lys (meaning Lily Flower) to create elegant and ornate hardware. Gothic cabinetry includes coat hooks and D handles which can be used on drawers, cupboards, wardrobes and more. These pieces are forged from mild steel and feature teardrop shapes. They’re a perfect pairing for From The Anvil’s Gothic lever door handles, escutcheons, thumblatches and Arrow Head T hinges. Each product is available across the traditional Blacksmith finishes including Beeswax, Black, and Pewter Patina.

5. Prestbury
Crafted with precision, the Prestbury collection embodies quiet luxury. The detailed rings across the surface of each product add intrigue to a space, instantly upgrading your cupboards and cabinets. The Prestbury collection is available across the Period finishes, including Aged Bronze, Polished Chrome, Aged Brass and Polished Nickel. The Prestbury collection further extends to door knobs and sash window hardware for cohesion throughout your home. For accompanying door and window hardware, we recommend pairing the Prestbury collection with the Art Deco range due to its similar embellishments.

6. Flower
The intricate design of From The Anvil’s flower range is an ode to the beauty of a flower in bloom. Both the Flower drawer pulls and cabinet knobs exude a sense of tradition, bringing a touch of femininity to any space. With two styles of Flower pulls to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect accent for your drawers. Plus, this collection pairs wonderfully with From The Anvil’s Flora range of homeware and lighting which includes elegant wall lights, ceiling pendants, plant pots and vases.
