This starfish cabinet knob is hand-cast in brass by Indian artisans for Doing Goods. Each knob measures 5.5 x 5.5 x 6.5 cm and comes with a 5 cm bolt that can be trimmed to fit the exact thickness of your furniture. Brass is softer than iron, giving a warm, tactile surface. Because each knob is hand-cast, small variations in appearance occur — no two are exactly alike. The knob can be used as a drawer pull, cabinet knob, or mounted as a hook for towels or clothing.
Care and maintenance
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Brass naturally develops a patina over time — use brass polish if you want to maintain the original shine. Recommended for indoor use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between brass knobs and iron knobs?
Brass is softer than iron and offers a warmer, golden tone. Brass naturally develops a patina over time, darkening its finish, while iron is typically lacquered or painted. Brass knobs are easier to trim if the bolt needs shortening.
Can I use the starfish cabinet knob as a hook?
Yes, the knob can be mounted as a hook. It supports lightweight textiles like towels, dishcloths, or children's clothes. Avoid heavy winter coats, as brass is softer than iron.
How do I prevent brass from tarnishing?
Brass naturally develops a patina — this is not the same as rust. To keep the bright finish, polish the knob with brass polish every 3-6 months. Avoid installing it in damp rooms without good ventilation.
Is the starfish cabinet knob a good housewarming gift?
Yes, it works well as a housewarming or hostess gift, especially for someone who loves maritime details or handmade products. The price is under 100 DKK, and it can be used throughout the home.
Why is each starfish knob slightly different?
The knobs are hand-cast in sand molds by Indian artisans. This means small variations in casting details and brass finish are natural — a sign of genuine craftsmanship, not a defect.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
