Schaub 993 5/8" Oval Cantata Cabinet Knob

A single bore is all the Schaub 993 needs, since it is a one-screw knob rather than a two-post pull. The base that sits against the door is 7/8 inch, so it covers a standard knob bore and a little slop around it. If you are converting from a two-hole pull, one of the old holes will still be exposed and you will need to fill and finish it, or move to a pull with matching centers instead.

The Schaub 993 Cantata is a 1-1/8 inch diameter oval knob in solid brass with a 1-1/8 inch projection. If you need a noticeably larger face, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, also solid brass. The trade is shape and detail: the 993 is an oval in the Cantata collection with a 7/8 inch base, while the KRB175 is a plain round heavy-duty profile.

Projection is 1-1/8 inches from the face of the door. That matters in a galley kitchen or a tight hallway of cabinets where sleeves and hips catch on hardware, and it matters if the cabinet sits next to an appliance door that swings past it. The knob head measures 1-1/8 inches across with a 7/8 inch base.

Solid brass. That is the base material across the Cantata 993, which is why the antiqued and hand-applied finishes on it wear the way they do rather than flaking off a zinc casting. For a kitchen or bath with heavy daily use, solid brass is the material to hold out for.

Five: Dark Glaze (DG), Dark Italian Antique (DIA), Monticello Brass (MBR), Monticello Silver (MSL), and White Brass (WB). If you are matching existing hardware in a kitchen, order the finish code, not the name alone, since DG and DIA both read dark but sit very differently against a stained door.

The Cantata 993 tops out at 1-1/8 inch diameter, which reads small on a tall pantry or a wide drawer. For a larger grip, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round knob with a groove, heavy-duty, in solid brass. That is over half an inch more diameter to get a full hand on. If the look you want is plainer, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission and CK-19032 Whistler round knobs are other options in this category.

The Schaub 993 is a cabinet knob only. For openings where a pull suits better, Emtek's Schaub Collection pieces such as the 8665 Select, the Allerton, and the Art Deco are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull, so you can carry one design language across both knobs and pulls in a kitchen or millwork run.

The Schaub 993 is a Symphony Elegance style oval knob in the Cantata collection, a decorative profile. For a simpler round face on volume work, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission and the CK-19032 Whistler are both straightforward cabinet knobs in their Mission and Whistler collections. They give you a plain round look rather than the oval Cantata detail.

Not visually. The Schaub 993 is a solid brass oval knob offered in Dark Glaze, Dark Italian Antique, Monticello Brass, Monticello Silver, and White Brass finishes. The Emtek Astoria is a glass cabinet knob in the Schaub Collection, so the face reads as glass rather than metal. Use the Astoria only where you want a glass accent, not where you are matching existing brass knobs.

The Cantata 993 is a decorative, hand-finished oval in Schaub's Symphony Elegance style, so it will not blend with a plain machined knob even in a similar color. If you need a simple round profile for secondary rooms or a rental turn, the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob or Orca's CK-18032 Mission round knob are straightforward alternatives. Use the Cantata where the detail shows and keep the plain knob for utility runs.

Yes. Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning for California residents on the Cantata 993, consistent with its solid brass construction. If you are buying for a California multi-family or commercial project where product stewardship documentation gets collected, note it with your submittals.
