Cabinet Knob Palazzo Square Sleeping Lion

About this handle

The character of the design

Collection Classica Europa

From Florence to Vienna, from the Baroque to the Enlightenment: five centuries of European ornament distilled into a single collection. Scrollwork, mythological figures, generous curves and confident symmetries: the vocabulary of Europe’s grand houses, reinterpreted for furniture today. For interiors that aren’t afraid of character.

Palazzo Square

A square silhouette with precise architecture: softened corners, a stepped frame that plays with shadow, a slightly recessed front face that adds depth without overloading the form. The Palazzo Square’s geometry works as well on a contemporary kitchen as on an antique dresser, and adapts to standard fronts without losing its character. A sober, premium detail that evokes an Italian palazzo, minus the budget that comes with one.

Sleeping Lion

Eyes closed, mane at rest, an expression somewhere between serenity and quiet nobility. The Sleeping Lion is a strong sculptural motif, yet a composed one: an assertive presence without ostentation. For interiors that want character without provocation.

The material

The manufacturing of our Copper handles

Each piece is cast from ultra-fine pure copper powder blended with resin. This composite captures the warm, glowing tones and visual richness of solid copper, with a level of sculpted detail unreachable by traditional casting, for an object that is both more precise and lighter.

What it works on

In harmony with your door or drawer front

Satin copper, striking against bold contrasts

It looks especially beautiful against deep lacquers or dark fronts, where its orange glow stands out with real elegance. On pure white, it takes on a more contemporary, luminous character. Tone on tone against a cognac or amber front, the result can be surprising, and remarkably good.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about the handle Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion

Custom

Do You Offer Custom, Made-to-order Pieces?

Yes. Our handles are made to order in our Paris atelier, which gives us real latitude to go beyond the catalog. We range from custom color to raised initials or a logo, from an exclusive pattern to a numbered series. Custom work remains a separate service, on top of the catalog, priced according to your project. Every request gets its own dedicated quote, which we put together as quickly as possible after your message.

Can I Have My Initials or a Logo Added?

Yes. Initials, a monogram, or a logo are designed into the handle's pattern and then added in relief: they're sculpted onto the master, captured in the mold, and cast with the piece. Nothing is engraved afterward, the relief is one with the handle. The modeling work and mold making are priced in the quote.

Creating a custom cabinet handle

IKEA, Plum, and Superfront compatibility

What if My IKEA Front Is Already Drilled?

For a knob, the existing hole almost always works, it fits the M4 screw. For a pull, check that the gap between the holes matches an available center-to-center. If in doubt, measure center to center and send us the measurement, we'll confirm the right piece for you.

And with Plum, Superfront, Reform, or A.S. Helsingö Fronts?

Yes, in the same way. These brands design their fronts to IKEA Metod's dimensions and drilling: Plum, Superfront, Reform, A.S. Helsingö, Holte, and the other workshops making fronts for IKEA cabinets. Installation is identical, free-choice drilling and M4 screws.

How Does This Knob Attach to IKEA Furniture?

One hole, one M4 screw: it's the simplest install there is. Drill at the spot you want on your IKEA front (Metod, Malm, Kallax, Hemnes) and screw it in. No center-to-center to measure, since a knob only has one mounting point.

Is Holdon_faq_product_name Compatible with IKEA Furniture?

Yes. IKEA Metod, Pax, and Besta fronts are factory drilled for hinges and drawers, but never for handles: you choose the placement, drill, then fasten with an M4 screw, exactly like an original IKEA handle. Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion follows this standard, like all our pieces.

IKEA, Plum and Superfront compatibility

Installation

Are the Screws Provided with Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion?

Yes, always. You receive stainless steel M4 screws in several lengths to cover standard front thicknesses, along with installation instructions. They hold up well to the humidity of a kitchen or bathroom. For a nonstandard front, just ask and we will send you the right length.

What Thickness of Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion Door or Drawer Front Can It Go Through?

The included screws cover standard fronts, roughly 16 to 25 mm thick, which covers nearly every cabinet on the market and most IKEA fronts. For a thicker front, a solid door, or a doubled-up front, all you need is longer screws: just ask and we'll send them. For a very thin front, choose the shortest screw in the bag so it doesn't poke through on the inside.

What Tooling Do I Need?

A drill or driver with a bit suited to your door or drawer front, and a Phillips screwdriver. No specialized tools required. On a thin front, a hand screwdriver is often enough, without even reaching for the drill if the hole already exists.

How Does Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion Attach to My Cabinet Front?

One hole, one M4 screw: it's the simplest mounting there is. You mark the spot, drill, then screw Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion in from the inside of the front. There's no center-to-center to measure, since a knob has only one fixing point, making it compatible with almost any existing drilling.

How Should I Pose Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion?

Installation is the same as any cabinet handle: drill the front, secure with the included screws, hand tighten, then finish with a final turn of the screwdriver. It takes just a few minutes per piece. Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion fits existing furniture as easily as IKEA fronts, and the installation guide is included in the package.

Fabrication and Ecology

Are the Handles Made in France, Cold-cast in a Paris Atelier from a Silicone Mold, with the Patina Applied by Hand, Not That They Are "Made in France."

Yes. 3D printing the master, molding, casting, sanding, and patina: it all happens in our Paris workshop. Our metal powders and resins come from European suppliers, and both assembly and finishing stay French. Every piece is checked by eye in our workshop before it ships.

Do Your Handles Contain Lead or Other Heavy Metals?

No. Our metal handles are cast from bronze, copper, brass, or pure aluminum powders, with no added lead, no cadmium, and no mercury. The materials used comply with European RoHS directives restricting hazardous substances. You can install them in a kitchen, a child's room, or a bathroom with no risk of toxic migration.

How our handles are made

Product and Material

Tenure and Aging

Will the Satin Copper Finish Darken or Patina over Time?

Yes, and it's by design. The Satin Copper finish is a living patina: it keeps evolving gently with time and light, gaining depth, which makes each handle a little unique. A soft cloth is enough for everyday care, no abrasive products needed. And if you'd rather lock in its current look, a colorless microcrystalline wax noticeably slows the evolution.

Are Screws and Instructions Included with Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion?

Yes, always: stainless steel screws sized for standard 18 to 19 mm fronts, in several lengths, plus an installation guide. For a thicker or thinner front, we send the right screws free of charge, just ask.

Will the Finish of Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion Change over Time?

It all depends on the finish. Patinated finishes, like Antique Bronze or Antique Copper, are alive: they keep evolving gently, and that's their whole appeal. Matte, glossy, or color finishes, like Matte Bronze, are stabilized by their surface treatment and stay put. Either way, no bad surprises: a patina won't turn green, a stable finish stays exactly as it was. And if you ever want to refresh or change a patina, we'll take the piece back into the workshop.

Does Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion Work in a Kitchen or Bathroom?

For metal finishes (bronze, copper, brass, aluminum), yes to both: they hold up very well against household moisture and splashes. Bioresin, on the other hand, is best kept to dry rooms. The one real contraindication, for every material, is outdoor use exposed to the elements.

Is This Handle Solid?

Yes, for everyday use: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office. Cast in metal, the material doesn't warp, doesn't break under normal pulling, and withstands everyday knocks. We archive the 3D model of every piece: even years from now, we can remake one identically.

Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion in Copper, Is It Real Metal?

Yes, at 80%. Copper: our pieces are cold cast from 80% pure metal powder, in a mold taken from a master we 3D print at the atelier in Paris. The shine, the weight in hand, the feel of the material: everything behaves like solid metal, with a level of detail traditional casting can't achieve. Each piece is then sanded and finished by hand, patinated for the noble metals, brushed for aluminum.

The materials and durability of our handles

Maintenance

Can Dishwashers or Steam-exposed Cabinets Be Paired with Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion?

Yes for metal finishes (bronze, copper, brass, aluminum), which handle household steam very well. Bioresin, more sensitive to prolonged moisture, should be avoided in these situations. On a built-in dishwasher, choose a metal material and wipe the piece down after high-temperature cycles. That is the only thing to remember for a front exposed to steam.

How to Care for Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion Every Day

A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough in most cases. For a kitchen handle exposed to greasy buildup, add a drop of mild soap, liquid Marseille soap or diluted dish soap. Then wipe with a dry cloth to avoid streaks. That's all it takes day to day: no specialty product, no complicated routine.

How to Care for Palazzo Square, Sleeping Lion in Copper?

Bronze, copper, and brass handle mild cleaners well and keep their patina thanks to the protective treatment applied in our atelier. A soft, damp cloth with a drop of mild soap covers everyday care, then a dry cloth to bring back the shine. Save diluted vinegar for occasional limescale spots only, never for routine cleaning. These patinated metals only get better with light, regular care.

Does My Handle Care Depend on the Material?

Yes, on one key point. Metal finishes (bronze, copper, brass, aluminum) tolerate mild cleaners, a bit of diluted vinegar, and even household steam. Bioresin, on the other hand, should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, no alcohol, no solvent, no concentrated vinegar. Day to day care stays simple either way, it's mainly the list of products to avoid that differs. Each product page specifies the exact care for its material.
