This is Blum's Fall handle in antique bronze, drawing its form from the worn brass fittings you'd find on an old merchant's counter. The extruded aluminium profile creates flowing lines along the edge, giving your fingers a comfortable grip that feels both substantial and refined.
Where It Fits
At 140mm long with 128mm centres, this handle works well on standard drawer fronts and smaller cabinet doors. The antique bronze finish suits kitchens where you want the warmth of aged metal without the maintenance that comes with genuine brass. It sits particularly well in period-inspired designs or contemporary kitchens that need a softer edge than polished chrome or steel.
Why It Matters
The flowing profile isn't just about looks. When you're opening drawers repeatedly during cooking, that comfortable grip makes a real difference. The antique bronze develops a subtle patina with use, so the handle actually improves with the daily rhythm of your kitchen rather than showing wear.
Design Consideration
This handle works best when you want hardware that feels present but not prominent. If your kitchen design relies on very clean, minimal lines, the traditional inspiration and flowing profile might feel too decorative. It's also worth considering that antique bronze can look muddy against certain wood tones, so test it against your chosen cabinet finish.
Build Quality
The aluminium construction keeps the handle light while maintaining strength. The antique bronze finish is applied to resist daily wear, though like any living finish, it will develop character over time. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee, which speaks to their confidence in both the mechanism and the finish durability.
Options
This comes as a single 140mm handle. You'll need to source the fixing bolts separately, as they're not included. The 30mm height and 20mm width give it enough presence without overwhelming smaller drawer fronts.
