Butterfly Hinges

Butterfly Hinges

Butterfly hinges are a decorative surface-mounted hinge commonly used on cupboards, cabinets and period-style furniture. Their distinctive wing-shaped profile makes them ideal for restoration work or new joinery requiring a subtle traditional detail. This collection brings together our full range of butterfly hinges in black beeswax and pewter, available in both half and full patterns to suit a variety of cabinet and light door applications. For matching hardware across your home, explore our wider Traditional Door Hardware range.

Black Beeswax Butterfly Hinges

Our black beeswax butterfly hinges offer a subtle traditional appearance suited to darker timber and rustic interiors. They are individually finished with a natural beeswax coating that enhances the forged detail. Available as a half butterfly hinge or a full butterfly hinge, these are ideal for cupboards, small doors and cabinet panels.

Pewter Butterfly Hinges

The pewter versions provide a softer metallic appearance that works well with painted or lighter timber surfaces. They offer the same decorative outline but with a finish suited to more contemporary or lightly aged interiors. Choose between the half butterfly hinge in pewter and the full butterfly hinge in pewter depending on the style and scale of your joinery.

Half vs Full Butterfly Hinges

Half butterfly hinges provide a more compact profile suited to smaller cupboard doors, small cabinets and restoration work where a lighter hinge is sufficient. Full butterfly hinges offer a larger decorative footprint, making them suitable for more visible applications or larger cabinet doors where additional presence is desired.

Where Butterfly Hinges Work Best

  • Period cupboards and cabinetry
  • Built-in furniture and wardrobe doors
  • Decorative surface-mounted joinery
  • Restoration projects requiring traditional fittings
