Hand-forged by skilled artisans, each piece features unique hammer marks for a rustic, relaxed feel. The unique texture offers designers and homeowners more of a custom look and infuses a sense of luxury into any space. “Our artisans use traditional blacksmith techniques to add each and every little dent and divot,” says Ashish Karnani, Vice President of Ashley Norton. “The hammered finish offers a bespoke feel that makes both a visual and tactile statement.” The new hammered finish is available for an array of Ashley Norton hardware, including Edge Pulls, various cabinet knobs and pulls, including the classic and wide-sized Urban pulls, as well as the Bauhaus pulls. Hammered hardware is also available for the popular Bauhaus Lever Handlesets. The variety of available styles means there is hammered hardware available to enhance any environment, from traditional and transitional to modern. While the hammered texture is available in all of Ashley Norton’s available finishes, Karnani points out that it looks best in Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, and Satin Brass. “These finishes really allow the distinctive blacksmith markings to take center stage,” he explains. The entire collection of Ashley Norton architectural hardware is available at leading kitchen and bath dealers throughout the United States. Hardware in the hammered texture starts at $30.
