Unlacquered brass knobs and taps like Devol

[josephinebonaparted]

Hi everyone, our kitchen tap is finally giving up the ghost, and I need to replace it. I current have a traditional 3 hole chrome set (hot, cold, and water spout). I’d LOVE to replace it with an unlacquered brass set - all those Devol shaker kitchens are very drool worthy. I’d also have to replace 30 (THIRTY!!!) cupboard knobs with brass as well, so the cost is adding up!

Can anyone let me know if any good sources for classic brass knobs and taps? I’m willing to pay up for the tap but the prices I’m seeing for knobs seem pretty insane! Devol’s cost £20-30 each, so that makes it over £600 just for kitchen cupboard pulls!

You know unlacquered brass will tarnish and become dark brown over time, unless you polish it regularly?

Thank you! Will take a look at all the recommendations.
Yes, I’m happy with it getting a patina - I really like that look (though accept May regret it later!)

Corston Architectural's are £10.80 each (www.corston.com/collections/cupboard-furniture/products/bayswater-furniture-knob-un-lacquered). We have a DeVOL kitchen and I ordered some bronze knobs from Corston Architectural (for built-in furniture) and I think they compare very favourably to DeVOL's knobs.

We got Perrin & Rowe taps with our DeVOL kitchen but we are moving and I might order from Bespoke Taps (bespoketaps.com/) for our next kitchen - not that there has been anything wrong with the Perrin & Rowe taps, but I think Bespoke Taps are quirkier.

You always end up paying a premium for 'living finishes'. From the anvil do lovely unlacquered brass ironmongery. Look on their website and although you can't buy directly from them it is all priced for retail.
Otherwise look at Weyland.

Ottone Hardware do gorgeous aged brass products and they're really reasonable. Apparently it's a small family business and they age everything themselves in London. I bought some sunflower knobs a while back but I love all their stuff! I wish I could have it all!
