Ceramic fittings combine a practical surface with the decorative character associated with Victorian, Edwardian and country-style interiors. They can be used as individual details or coordinated across internal doors, kitchen cupboards, wardrobes, drawers and freestanding furniture.

• Ceramic Door Knobs provide a classic finishing touch for internal doors and are available in plain, lined and crackle designs.
• Ceramic cabinet knobs can be used on kitchen cupboards, drawers, wardrobes and other fitted or freestanding furniture.
• Ceramic covered escutcheons provide a decorative finish around a keyhole and can be coordinated with ceramic door knobs.
• Ceramic finger plates help protect frequently handled areas of an internal door from finger marks and everyday wear.
• Ceramic tile coat hooks add a decorative and practical detail to hallways, bedrooms, utility rooms and cloakrooms.

Choosing a Ceramic Finish

Plain White offers a simple and versatile appearance that works with a wide variety of paint colours and interior styles. Gold Line introduces a more decorative period detail, while White Crackle and Cream Crackle provide an aged-looking surface suited to traditional and country-style rooms.

The crackle pattern is part of the decorative finish, so its appearance may vary slightly between individual pieces. This variation helps give each fitting its traditional character.

Where Can Ceramic Hardware Be Used?

Ceramic door and cabinet furniture is particularly well suited to cottages, Victorian and Edwardian properties, farmhouse kitchens and sympathetic restoration projects. It can also provide a useful contrast in contemporary interiors where a softer or more traditional detail is desired.

White ceramic works especially well with painted timber, while crackle finishes can complement natural wood, traditional cabinetry and interiors designed to have an aged or handcrafted appearance.

Choosing Ceramic Door Knobs

Before ordering ceramic door knobs, check the type of latch or lock fitted to the door, along with the door thickness, spindle requirements and available clearance from the door frame. Door knobs require enough space for your hand to turn them comfortably.

If you are replacing an existing lever handle, compare the dimensions of the new rose with the old fixing marks. Some filling or decorating may be required if the new fitting does not cover the previous fixing area.

Refer to each product page for dimensions, fixing information and compatibility before ordering.

Coordinating Ceramic Fittings

Matching ceramic fittings can help create a consistent appearance across a room or throughout the home. Coordinate door knobs with covered escutcheons and finger plates, then use ceramic cabinet knobs on nearby cupboards, drawers or wardrobes.

The fittings do not need to be identical in every room. Plain White can provide a simple foundation, while Gold Line or a crackle finish can be used as a more decorative feature in selected spaces.

Caring for Ceramic Hardware

Wipe ceramic fittings with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them afterwards. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaning products, which may mark the ceramic surface or damage decorative detailing.

Check the fixings periodically and tighten them carefully if required. Do not overtighten fittings against the ceramic, as excessive pressure may cause damage.
