Product details
The Melbury collection solid brass cabinet knob is a contemporary, neo-classical design for luxury kitchens, bedroom closets, and refined living room or media cabinetry. Made in England, this contemporary cabinet knob suits slab and slim-frame shaker fronts, as well as integrated appliance doors, for designers / architects and specifiers looking for solid brass cabinet knobs for luxury kitchens and modern classic millwork schemes.
Melbury’s form is a disciplined truncated cone: a flat circular top tapering cleanly into a slim stem and round backplate. The geometry is crisp and deliberately minimal, with just enough profile to reference a traditional door knob in miniature. On slab or plain panel doors it reads as a precise, architectural “full stop”; on shaker and in-frame cabinetry it adds a tailored accent without competing with the frame.
Made in England and backed by over 40 years’ experience machining complex components for motor racing, marine, and aerospace applications, our hardware is engineered and finished in England from solid brass and Atelier metals. The same precision processes, close tolerances, and rigorous inspection used for critical parts now underpin every handle and knob, giving specifiers confidence in consistency across batches, reliable lead times, and the option for project-specific sizing and detailing.
In use, the conical face sits comfortably under the fingers, giving a positive, instinctive grip without sharp edges or aggressive detailing. Solid brass construction delivers reassuring weight and tactility, while the soft polishing keeps the look smart rather than showy; ideal for high-end residential kitchens, luxury apartment closets, and modern living room or media units. Coordinate Melbury knobs with Melbury pull handles to create a consistent, geometric hardware story across a full project.

Heritage Finishes
Heritage Finishes brings together Capramont & Co’s collection of solid brass cabinetry finishes, hand-finished in England and informed by four decades of high-precision engineering, where consistency, control, and material behaviour are taken seriously from the outset.
The collection comprises of eight finishes: seven brass and bronze expressions; Aged Brass, Fine English Antique Brass, Dark Aged Brass, Medium Bronze, Dark Bronze, Black, and Satin Brass. Together with Satin Stainless Steel for schemes requiring a cooler, more stable metal presence.
The seven brass and bronze finishes are all live finishes. Produced on a solid brass base, they patinate naturally in use, deepening, settling, and acquiring character over time. This is the material behaving as it should. Brass hardware that improves with age is a specification decision, and one worth discussing with clients before the finish is finalised.
The tonal range moves from the warmest and most luminous which is Aged Brass and Fine English Antique Brass through to the progressively deeper restraint of Dark Aged Brass, Medium Bronze, and Dark Bronze, to the sharper architectural contrast of Black and the cleaner finish of Satin Brass.
Heritage is the appropriate collection where the scheme calls for genuine brass character: Georgian, Neoclassical, and other heritage-classic interiors; Art Deco and Hollywood Regency schemes where patinated metal reads as jewellery; transitional and contemporary-classic projects where warmth is needed without period pastiche; and Bauhaus or Mid-Century influenced spaces where darker bronze tones carry material weight without decoration.
It works across classic shaker, in-frame, panelled, fluted, slab, and veneered cabinetry, and is suited to kitchens, pantries, dressing rooms, wardrobes, bathrooms, home bars, and living or media rooms, as well as high-end residential, boutique hotel, luxury apartment, members’ club, and luxury retail projects.
Heritage is also designed for full-project schedules, with every piece drawn from the same solid brass base and finish family.
Atelier Materials
Atelier Materials are Capramont & Co’s premium engineering-led material range, specified when a project requires more than appearance alone.
Shaped by over four decades of precision engineering across motor racing, aerospace and marine manufacturing, Atelier brings a more technical standard into cabinet hardware. Materials are considered for durability, environmental resistance, stability and long-term performance, not simply colour or surface appearance.
Where Heritage Finishes focus on solid brass, warmth and patina, Atelier Materials are the premium route for more demanding applications such as high-use cabinetry, coastal or marine settings, hospitality interiors, specialist joinery and projects where stainless steel, naval brass, titanium or other advanced material options may be more suitable.
Atelier pricing is confirmed via Trade Login, Hardware Schedule or project enquiry.

Marine
Atelier includes materials used in marine deck hardware and offshore equipment operating in saltwater environments, selected here where corrosion resistance, environmental stability, and long term reliability are important in kitchens, utility areas, coastal properties, and other higher demand settings.
Naval Brass
A controlled brass alloy offering greater corrosion resistance and environmental stability than standard brass hardware.
Use where a warm brass tone is required, but the setting calls for a more durable material response in kitchens, utility areas, coastal properties, or higher-use environments.
Nickel-Coated Naval Brass
A refined nickel finish applied to a naval brass substrate, offering a more stable and corrosion-resistant base than conventional nickel-plated brass hardware.
Use where a nickel appearance is required and long-term finish integrity is the priority.
Marine-Grade Stainless Steel (316L)
A clean, neutral metal engineered for prolonged exposure to moisture, salt air, and atmospheric change.
Use in coastal properties, high-humidity kitchens, or any environment where long-term durability is critical.
Aerospace
Materials used within the Atelier range in aerospace structures and high-performance components which are selected for strength-to-weight efficiency, dimensional stability, and precision under demanding conditions.
Powder Coated Aluminium — Black / White
A precision machined aluminium alloy finished through a factory controlled powder coating process, producing a clean, uniform surface and a controlled architectural finish.
Use where a black or white finish is required to remain crisp, stable and visually consistent over time.
Motor Racing
Materials used within the Atelier range in motor racing engine and chassis components , selected for strength, low weight, dimensional stability, and resistance to surface wear under sustained use.
Titanium
A high-performance metal valued for its combination of strength, low weight, and long-term material stability, offering a more refined and controlled alternative to conventional stainless finishes.
Use where a cool contemporary finish is required and long-term appearance consistency is a priority.
Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel — Black / Silver
A stainless steel finish enhanced by a carbon-based surface treatment, delivering either a deep black or refined silver appearance with high resistance to wear and marking in normal use.
Use where a consistent, durable metal finish is required across high-use cabinetry.
