FSB 1058 Lever Handle by Johannes Potente

FSB (Franz Schneider Brakel)

A 1958 lever in MoMA's collection that still costs less than most "designer" handles. The best-value authored interior lever we know of, if you can live with aluminum and European door prep.

Armac Martin Cotswold Cup Pull

Armac Martin

A solid brass forged cup pull, hand-finished in Birmingham in about twenty finishes, at under $110 a pull landed; the most sensible serious answer for a Shaker kitchen's drawers, as long as you want a cup pull's finger grip and not a bar.

Rocky Mountain Hardware Element Entry Set – Lever to Lever

Rocky Mountain Hardware

Idaho-cast solid bronze with almost no escutcheon — the Element lever entry is the quiet modern default when Baldwin’s full-plate knurl is too loud and mass brass is too thin.

455353
Baldwin Estate Gramercy Knurled Handleset

Baldwin

Forged-brass knurled entry that reads as architecture, not catalog hardware.
