Schaub and Company Nature Collection

Schaub and Company Nature Collection cabinet hardware

The Schaub and Company Nature Collection is a figural knob and pull line shaped as plants, insects, sea life, and small creatures. Nature is a sculptural family where each piece is a recognizable subject rather than an abstract form.

What identifies the Nature look

Pieces are cast as detailed subjects: a butterfly, a dragonfly on a twig, a bee on a rose, a frog on a log, a woodpecker, an octopus, a seahorse, a sea crab, and a turtle pendant. Several inlay mother of pearl or tiger penshell into the metal so the creature carries an iridescent surface alongside the cast detail. Sizes vary by subject, with pulls roughly 1-1/2-inch to 5-1/2-inch centers and knobs scaled to the figure. Warm cast tones like Pompeian and highlighted bronze, Paris brass, and Estate Dover suit the organic, hand-modeled forms rather than a cool machined look.

Buying considerations

Nature fits cottage, coastal, garden-room, and themed bath or kitchen cabinetry where the hardware is meant to be a focal piece, not blended away. The figures read best on plain or painted doors that give the sculpture room to be seen. Because each subject is its own form, plan placement deliberately, grouping like creatures or alternating them for rhythm rather than scattering them at random across a run. The shell-inlay pieces add light and pair well with the bronze tones, which keeps a mixed set coherent. Since natural shell varies from piece to piece, keep inlaid hardware from one order on the most visible run, and confirm pull centers against existing bores before ordering. Order a spare of a favorite figure so a damaged piece can be matched later.
