Bow Handles

About

Bow handles for cabinets and drawers Bow handles bring a gentle arch to cupboard doors, cabinet fronts and drawers. The raised centre gives the hand room to pull, while the curved outline softens straight furniture lines. This collection contains 43 designs in a broad mix of proportions, from compact traditional pulls to long, slimline handles for wide drawers. It is a useful place to start when you want a handle with more shape than a straight bar but less visual weight than an ornate cup pull. Choose the curve that suits your furniture Although every design follows a bow-like profile, the details make a clear difference. Asteria has a clean, rounded shape; Loch and Merle use a more pronounced curve; Viga and Ursa take a slimmer approach; and Pipo adds a traditional feel. Other named families in the range include Floria, Frye, Tucana, Zeller and Rochelle. Consider the scale of the door or drawer as well as the style. A fine bow can keep a small bedside cabinet neat, while a longer pull can give a bank of kitchen drawers a stronger horizontal line. Measure the hole centres before ordering If you are replacing existing handles, measure from the centre of one screw hole to the centre of the other. Live options in this collection run from 64mm to 320mm hole centres, but each product has its own size selection. Merle, for example, is offered from 96mm to 224mm on its polished chrome listing, while the matt black Viga family extends from 128mm to 320mm. Do not choose by overall appearance alone: open the product page and match its stated hole-centre option to your furniture. Finishes for modern and traditional schemes The current range includes matt black, polished chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, antique copper, antique silver, satin copper and gold finishes. Polished chrome can sharpen pale or high-gloss furniture; matt black creates a stronger outline; satin nickel is quieter; and antique finishes can sit naturally with painted timber and traditional cabinetry.
