"Gorgeous. They look even better in person." — Thomas Martin, verified buyer

Product Story

PONTE is Italian for bridge, and that is the shape: a low, even arch springing from two round feet. It is the bow handle of the classic American kitchen, the pull you find on painted cabinets and dressers from the 1930s onwards, remade in solid brass rather than the plated steel of the originals. On a shaker door it looks as though it has always been there. On a flat painted front it brings a softness the door does not have on its own.

The arch is machined from solid brass, so the curve is clean all the way round and the feet sit flat and square to the door. It is a comfortable handle to live with: the hand closes over the bow rather than around a rod, and the 20mm feet give it a planted look and cover the marks a previous handle on the same centres may have left.

Two finishes

Satin Brass is warm and brushed, the finish for a kitchen that wants to feel current. Antique Brass is darker and browner, closer to the originals, and it deepens further with use, so a run of handles settles into a painted kitchen the way old hardware does.

Two sizes

The 115mm (96mm centres) is the drawer and cupboard size, and it suits most kitchen and bedroom fronts. The 147mm (128mm centres) is for wider drawers and larger doors, and gives a full hand hold on a pan drawer. Both stand 33mm off the front, so the two mix on one run without a change in depth.

Where it works best

Painted shaker kitchens, in either finish, on doors and drawers alike
Pantries, larders and boot rooms with a farmhouse or American diner feel
Bedroom furniture, from fitted wardrobes to a painted chest of drawers
Bathroom vanities, where the open arch is easy to wipe round
IKEA METOD, PAX and BESTÅ fronts on 96mm and 128mm centres

Fitting

Two M4 x 25mm machine screws come with every handle, fitted from inside the door or drawer. Longer screws for thicker fronts are available on request. Sold individually, made to order, with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The PONTE T-Bar and PONTE Knob share the same soft line for drawers and smaller doors.

How we work

Made Properly, Not Quickly

We work with a small group of specialist manufacturers who treat hardware the way it should be treated. As a piece worth getting right, not a commodity to churn out. Some of our pieces are CNC-machined from solid brass billets to a tolerance most customers will never measure but always feel in the hand. Others are sand-cast the traditional way, then handed over for finishing.

Finishing is where most hardware is let down, and where we spend the most time. Each piece passes through grinding, polishing, and either plating or patinating, and then gets inspected under bright light before it's cleared to ship. Unlacquered brass is left raw so it can age into its own patina over the years. Lacquered finishes are sealed at the end to hold their original tone for as long as possible.

We don't hold stock. Every order is made specifically for you, in the finish and size you've chosen, by people who know it's going somewhere it'll be looked at every day. It's why our lead times are measured in weeks rather than days, and it's why nothing in your order has been sitting in a warehouse waiting to be shifted.
