Handmade in India brass craftsmanship

• Because each Liv Flower Knob is hand-shaped and hand-finished, the five-petal flower will display subtle differences in relief and the light blue enamel will have minor variations in saturation from knob to knob — an effect that transforms a row of cabinet knobs from identical hardware into a set of individually crafted accents.
• Doing Goods constructs all its brass goods — including the Liv Flower Knob — entirely by hand from 100% recycled brass, meaning the raw material is melted, cast, and finished by artisans using traditional metalworking methods passed down through Indian craft communities; the residue of that handwork is seen in the slightly organic shaping of the petals and the warm, non-uniform gold tone.

Preserving the gold finish long-term

• Applying a thin coat of a carnauba-and-beeswax protective wax — Flitz Faucet Wax Plus is explicitly rated safe for gold-plated finishes — creates a hydrophobic film that repels moisture, fingerprints, and skin oils, keeping the high-contact knob surfaces brilliant between cleanings.
• Because the knob’s core is solid recycled brass — an ideal substrate for electroplating — professional replating is a realistic restoration option if the original finish ever wears down, granting this handcrafted piece a recoverable lifespan that plated zinc or plastic hardware lacks.
• Even mild commercial brass polishes contain microscrubbing agents and chemical tarnish removers that strip the thin gold plating as they brighten the underlying brass — using only a damp microfiber cloth preserves the plating thickness, since over-polishing is a leading cause of premature gold loss on plated hardware.
• A clean microfiber cloth safely removes skin oils and fingerprints without the abrasive compounds found in jewelry polishing cloths, which can aggressively thin the electroplated gold layer on the knob.

How this knob compares to similar options

• The knob is forged from 100% recycled brass, in line with Doing Goods' larger commitment to traditional techniques and sustainable material sourcing — a rare eco-conscious credential in decorative hardware that adds a values-driven story to the piece beyond its ornamental appeal.
• Each Liv Flower Knob is handmade in India, meaning no two are perfectly identical; the piece carries the subtle irregularities of artisan work, distinguishing it from mass-produced die-cast or machine-stamped floral knobs at similar price points.
• Measuring 6,3 × 6,3 × 8,5 cm (roughly 2.5 × 2.5 × 3.3 inches), the knob's face is noticeably more compact than the 3-inch and 3-1/8-inch diameters of pricier floral competitors, making it ideal for narrow drawers, slim cabinet stiles, or multi-knob arrangements where a lighter visual presence is desired without sacrificing ornamental detail.
• At its full retail of 45 CAD (and a current sale price of 19.99 CAD), the Liv Flower Knob is priced well below the Modern Matter Dogwood 3" Solid Brass Knob at $109 USD and the SignatureThings Brass Floral Cabinet Knob at $113.99 USD, yet all three are solid brass, flower-shaped decorative hardware — making the Doing Goods option a dramatically more accessible way to adopt the floral-knob trend across multiple cabinet fronts in a room.
• Because Doing Goods produces its entire brass collection — including whimsical animal hooks and other decorative hardware — from the same 100% recycled brass and Indian handcraftsmanship, mixing the Liv Flower Knob with other Doing Goods pieces creates a consistent, ethically grounded hardware story throughout a home.

What recycled brass means for this knob

• Re-melting brass scrap consumes far less energy than smelting virgin ore — Doing Goods’ decision to use recycled brass means this knob has a markedly smaller carbon footprint than equivalent first-use brass hardware.
• Each knob is formed using the ancient lost-wax casting technique where a handmade wax model is encased in a mold and then displaced by molten recycled brass, yielding a piece whose surface texture and slight variation are evidence of the artisan’s hand rather than a factory line.
• Recycled brass retains its full mechanical integrity through every melt cycle — it can be recast forever without downgrading, which means the metal in this knob may have already lived as a plumbing component or antique and could be transformed into another product after decades of use.
• The light blue petals are achieved with wax sticks applied by hand and then sealed under a clear enamel coat, a traditional method that bonds the color to the brass and creates a smooth, durable surface distinct from spray-painted or powder-coated alternatives.
• Doing Goods manufactures all its brass hardware from 100% recycled brass — this isn't a one-off sustainable SKU but a brand-wide material standard, so the knob’s eco credentials are part of a consistent design philosophy.
