i have nothing to add except wow scone911 that was some excellent and quick sleuthing.

Scone!! How did I not see those!?!? They are pretty close and definitely the right price point. THANK YOU!

So myknobs has a ton of backplate options, and the pull itself is basically a basic wire pull shape. I think you could put together something with a similar look with a backplate and pull from a single manufacturer (so the finishes match).

example: http://www.myknobs.com/rkipcolcp16.html with http://www.myknobs.com/rkibp7902p.html

Several manufacturers offer some separate backplates that can be used with their pulls, you could try searching that way -- I think Schaub and Jeffrey Alexander for example.

Have you seen the Rocky Mountain Hardware in person? It is beautiful and expensive because it is sand cast bronze made in small lots (MOL to order). Maybe add up the total cost of the hardware you would need, it might not be outrageous in the context of your whole project? Or consider it a birthday present to yourself . . . every birthday for the rest of your life :-)

You're welcome! When I want to find something, I type the search string into google and hit "images," instead of "web." Pictures of the item come up, so I can find what I'm after a little more quickly.

Also something like this from myknobs? handle

It doesn't have the back plate but that's easy enough to find. Look up Jeffrey Alexander. They have several that would work if you put a back plate on with it.

Navy and oak town, thank you for opening up a whole new world for me to obsess over :)

.. and that birthday gift idea may be a great way to justify the cost, ha!!

Cp artist , just saw your post. My kitchen place actually suggested that site since he gets wholesale prices. Wouldn't it be amazing if I could make that work and get a discount. Thank you !

I'll just add to what Oaktown said.

I splurged for Rocky Mountain Hardware. Once I touched and felt the cast silicon bronze finish, I was not about to settle for anything else. I figured I see and touch these pulls dozens, (if not hundreds) of times a day, and these would be the last kttchen pulls I would ever buy. I have the darker silicon bronze, and over time the finish patinas beautifully, particularly the most used pulls.

And as the old saying goes, the quality remains long after the price is forgotten.

I say treat yourself to the best, every time you grab a pull, you'll be happy you did! :)

Cookncarpenter may I *pretty* please see photos of your cabinet pulls? I would also love to see how some have patinaed over time!!

The patina is directly related to the amount of use a pull gets, and weather your hands are wet. This is below the sink, tip out tray on top...

Here are the freezer drawers, you can see top one gets much more use...

This hardware would not be for everyone, as with soapstone, butcher block, or distressed knotty pine, (of which I have all three;), these materials need someone that appreciates the lived with beauty of patina.

Please go see the RMH in person if you get a chance, cookncarpenter's photos are lovely but you should see it up close and hold it in your hand :-)

I disagree with Oaktown. There is no reason to start selling organs for the love of Rocky Mountain:-). I am considering going into hawk for some gate hardware myself! The stuff feels great in your hand. There is a local store that has Rocky Mountain as their front door hardware. I have considered removing it during off hours but the security cameras stop me.

Good luck on your hunt!!!

Oh dear, I didn't mean to suggest that Rocky Mountain stuff will cure cancer, sorry if it came across that way. My sibling who is a design pro advised me that in choosing between that with which one "is completely in love" and a "less expensive version" one should try to see the "real thing" in person in order to make an informed decision. I've tried to heed this advice where possible, and have chosen the "real thing" sometimes and the "substitute" version other times. Sometimes after seeing both I've found the "substitute" preferable for reasons other than cost.

Then again, I'm the kind of person who actually would get a kick out of browsing the hardware store so YMMV. (There was some Sugatsune stuff I really wanted and $$$$ but ended up going another direction.)

Oaktown,

lt cures cancer? That seals it. I am selling my kidney:-).

Actually, Sugatsune is the next option for outdoor pulls on the fence. I agree with your cousin through. If possible, see your choices. The feel of the Rocky Mountain is really well done.

Happy Holidays!!!
