“Timeless”…very few things in the man made world are truly timeless. However some styles last longer than others and some having disappeared for a while return. So I can’t offer up any suggestions that I can say are timeless…. Most people avoid the pulls that have projecting ends because cords and sweaters tend to catch on them. The style of kitchen may dictate….like the cup style for farmhouses. Of very long linear pulls in modern styles. Traditional kitchens may have fancy back plates or a curvier and more detailed pull. Knobs are easy and fit well on cabinets especially paired facing cabinets with the longer pulls used on drawers…and sometimes cabinets too. Ultimately go with what you like and if you can buy a sample and try it in your kitchen. I picked these….

Thanks for the info, very helpful! I’m actually looking at pulls similar in shape to this one.

One other thing…if you are tending toward the elongated pulls, I believe I saw guidance on Houzz and confirmed by my consulting designer is that opting for one that is about the third of the drawer works well right now. I love the above pull but am getting used to it as I have been thinking it might be a little chunky with my many small sized cabinets and drawers….

What a beautiful kitchen! If you're going for a super classic, antique look (which it appears you are), then I would not do elongated, squared-off pulls - that's pretty modern. I would suggest an unlacquered brass finish based on your colors, which will naturally age and burnish. For the cabinet doors, I'd do either a simple, classic knob or better yet a cupboard latch. For the drawers, I'd probably do a cup/bin pull or a more classic, softer pull that is not as wide, and I'd double up the handles if you have any extra-wide drawers.

I don't know what your budget is but here are some good options from Armac Martin - they are really pricey but there are many less expensive options available. I highly recommend finding a good hardware showroom near you, seeing items in person, and talking through things with a salesperson. You can usually get things at quite a discount versus purchasing online, particularly if your architect or contractor has a relationship with the showroom, and you can easily compare different brands and styles in person. They carry many common brands people order offline, including Emtek and the like.

This is what I used in my kitchen. These are glass knobs. I originally wanted bin pulls but for us getting up there in years, we felt it might be more difficult.

Gorgeous kitchen.

Lovely kitchen!! I also have Shaker styled cabinetry. I wanted a simple look for my hardware. I chose “Top Knob” brushed nickel pulls. I am still happy with them years later. I also suggest to get several samples of hardware to see what looks good to you on your cabinetry. Best of luck in your journey.

I would wait until you countertops are in to choose. It’s a good time to order samples, though. I would go with something with clean lines, not fussy. You have a lot going on with different cabinet colors and glass fronts.

They have made knobs like this for about 200 years

And maybe a pull like this:
