Rustic Twisted Cabinet Handle | 6.5" Forged Iron Drawer Pull

Rustic Twisted Cabinet Handle | 6.5" Forged Iron Drawer Pull

Universal Elegance for Smaller Projects

Thanks to its compact 6.5-inch size, this handle is exceptionally versatile. It is perfectly suited for applications where a larger handle might seem too massive:

• On Furniture: Ideal as a distinctive pull for cabinet doors, dressers, or drawers.
• On Interior Doors: Perfect for room doors, pantry doors, or on built-in wardrobes.
• On Smaller Gates and Chests: Works wonderfully on lighter garden gates or as a sturdy handle on a medium-sized chest.

Its timeless design is suited to a wide range of styles, from medieval and gothic, through country and rustic, to steampunk or colonial.

Strength and Beauty in the Forging Tradition

The twisted handle with a gently bowed body and flattened ends for mounting is a design that has been proven over generations. Its popularity stems from the perfect fusion of function and beauty. Blacksmiths for centuries knew that twisting the material adds strength and provides a comfortable grip, making it a favorite element on everything from furniture to gates.

The surface finish itself is an interesting piece of history. Oil-blackening is an ancient technique for protecting iron. The metal is heated to a high temperature and then quenched in oil. The oil essentially "bakes" onto the surface, creating a hard, matte-black protective layer (magnetite) that is far more durable and authentic than a simple coat of paint.

Installation and Care

Installation of the handle is easy. It is fastened with two screws through the pre-drilled holes in the mounting feet. The necessary screws with a matching finish are included in the package. When installing into hardwood, we recommend drilling small pilot holes to prevent damaging the wood.

Care for the handle is minimal thanks to its durable finish. To remove dust, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. The handle is designed for a long life of normal use—that is, opening and closing. It should not be used as a footstep or for lifting extremely heavy objects.
