Introduction — The Martello Round Knob by Schaub is a hand‑forged‑look cabinet knob designed for homeowners and designers who want a rustic, artisanal accent for kitchens, bathrooms, and furniture. Its hammered texture and compact proportions bring tactile charm to drawers and doors while remaining subtle and versatile.
Key Features & Design
-
Material: Crafted from britannium (a pewter‑based alloy) for a smooth, silvery surface with durable weight and feel.
-
Size & Fit: Approx. 1-3/4" (44 mm) diameter with a 1" (25 mm) projection and a 1/2" (13 mm) base—compact enough for cabinets and drawers. Mounting hardware (M4 screw) is included for straightforward installation.
-
Finish & Texture: Natural, unlacquered "living" finish featuring a hand‑hammered, slightly irregular surface that will develop a subtle patina over time for an authentic aged look.
-
Craftsmanship: Part of Schaub’s Martello collection, designed and manufactured in Italy with a rustic, artisanal aesthetic.
Performance / Benefits — The Martello Round Knob combines form and function: its textured face provides a confident grip, the britannium alloy resists everyday wear, and the unlacquered finish gains character rather than showing scratches. It installs quickly with standard hardware, coordinates seamlessly with rustic, transitional, or contemporary cabinetry, and adds a refined, handcrafted touch that elevates both new builds and renovation projects.
Why Schaub — Schaub is known for thoughtfully designed architectural hardware that balances lasting materials with artisanal detail; the Martello knob reflects that reputation by offering a distinctive, time‑worn look without sacrificing durability.
