Emtek 86434US10B Art Deco Square Cabinet Knob Backplate

Product Description

The EMTEK 86434US10B is an Art Deco square backplate designed for use with cabinet knobs, finished in Oil Rubbed Bronze. This decorative mounting plate installs behind a cabinet knob to conceal the mounting hole, reinforce the mounting surface, and add a defined architectural detail to cabinetry and furniture. It measures 3 inches in length, 2.6 inches in width, and 1.6 inches in height, making it a compact trim piece suited to standard cabinet door and drawer applications. Finish is Oil Rubbed Bronze, a dark, hand-applied tone with natural highlights that suits traditional, transitional, and Arts and Crafts interiors. Installation requires no specialized trade license and is handled by finish carpenters, cabinet installers, or knowledgeable DIYers.

This backplate is intended for residential and light commercial cabinetry applications where a coordinated hardware appearance is required. It is sold as a single unit and pairs with a compatible cabinet knob to complete the hardware assembly. Typical use cases include kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity doors, dresser drawers, and built-in furniture where the mounting surface benefits from a finished escutcheon plate. The Art Deco square profile provides a geometric, angular aesthetic consistent with period-style and contemporary transitional design schemes.
