Rustic Square Pyramid Knob, 2x2 cm Cast Iron with a Forged Look

A Small Detail with a Big Impact

This robust knob is an excellent fit for solid wood furniture, antique pieces, or as a contrasting element on modern materials. You can use it on the drawers of smaller dressers, on cabinet doors, on the lids of chests and jewelry boxes, or as an original handle on a kitchen unit. Thanks to its geometric and slightly raw design, it fits perfectly into rustic, industrial, gothic, vintage, or modern farmhouse-style interiors.

The Legacy of Medieval Craftsmanship

The design of this knob is heavily inspired by historic decorative nails known as "clavos." These were large, hand-forged nails with a decorative square or round head, used in the Middle Ages and the colonial era to join massive wooden planks on gates, doors, and chests. Originally a purely functional item, the clavo evolved into a decorative element symbolizing strength, durability, and honest craftsmanship.

A Fascinating Historical Detail

Decorative "clavos" were not just a sign of sturdy construction but also of wealth. The more of these nails that adorned a gate or door, the more affluent its owner was considered to be. This knob, therefore, carries an echo of a time when every piece of metal was valuable and working it required masterly skill.

Installation and Care

How to Install Your Knob

Installation is very straightforward. At the desired location for the knob, drill a single hole through the material. Then, insert a screw from the inside and tighten it firmly into the knob's thread. Tighten with care to avoid damaging the furniture. Please Note: A mounting screw is not included with this item. You will need to select one separately, based on the thickness of your furniture's material.

Proper Care

Thanks to its durable finish, maintenance is minimal. Simply wipe the knob with a dry or slightly damp cloth, without using chemicals. This will ensure it retains its dark patina and characteristic appearance.

What to Avoid

Do not use wire wool, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Due to its compact size, this knob is not suitable for very heavy drawers or doors that require a larger grip.
