They are darker than antique bronze. They don't have the bronze showing through around the edges like some of the oil rubbed bronze items you can purchase. The color is consistent throughout. They are good quality for the price.

They are pretty dark. I love them and think they look great in my house. But they may not be as antique looking as you're going for

These knobs were great for our cabinets which are light color maple. They have just the right amount of rubbed brown color.They are a darker brown color however. Hope this helps.

They are dark with a rustic look center. On my oak cabinets they are very rich looking & have made them look like new. They would be very dark on white, but, depending on your theme may be okay.

These are shinier than they look in the photo, but they are still "vintage-y" looking. If you have shiny hinges and an oak finish, these should look okay. Your knobs will be the focal point, you can always darken the hinges if they conflict with the knobs. Shiny brass would look too new. Although I haven't tried, it might be possible to polish these up to shiny, because usually they are just chemically oxidized on the surface.

A very dark brownish black. Blend veery well with my dark rubbed bronze light fixtures and my almost black closet doorknobs. As others have said, they are heavyweight knobs and of excellent quality.

I'd call it bronze or a brushed brass. Definitely a darker, flatter finish.

The finish on the ones that I received were a very dark oil rubbed bronze - almost black. I don't know if this will help as I don't know what the Belwith Kingston line looks like. I really like the ones I got.

oil rubbed bronze is a darker brownish color than Tuscan bronze. Oil rubbed bronze approaches a black color in appearance

Rubbed oil bronze for sure. Match perfectly with my faucet. I get so many compliments on this vanity - it's unique & I like that!

VERY similar. There are color variations in the stain as the picture indicates that vary enough the cabinet could blend with many finishes. Those areas that appear lighter think would be called a "golden oak" and the areas that appear darker have warm browns to almost a cherry or mahogany appearance especially in the detail work. My cabinet is beautiful and has already gotten many compliments. The way this has been stained gives it a very european olde world look. Hope that helps

I would say it is a dark bronze, not black like oil rubbed. It goes well with oil rubbed, that is what all my fixtures in that bathroom are including sink faucet. Hope this helps.

I feel it is dark...my whole home is oil rubbed bronze hardware and it matches well.

Both actually. Looks like a flat black base-coat with bronze colored paint dabbed on in places to give the look of antique bronze. It is very dark under indoor lighting and I don't notice the bronze color much unless there is a lot of natural light coming in. Your mileage may vary. :)

It's not black but not brass either. I would call it oil rubbed bronze. Very nice looking if that's the color your looking for.

I am also looking at these hot water dispensers and I believe the color "venetian bronze" is usually a very dark bronze, almost black. If that's the case then I would definitely go with the oil-rubbed bronze, NOT the "mocha bronze."

My granite top is a lighter tone but not solid it has oranges, tans, browns, blacks and flecks of gold. I think the dark tone sets great against my countertop.

They're oil rubbed bronze. Look like more expensive version only hollow on the underside. We used on golden oak cabinets to blend color with new high end granite countertops. Found the expensive version that cost 75% more and decided we didn't want the weight of the handles - not necessary. We bought new rubbed bronze cabinet door hinges from the specialty hardware store and finish looks exactly the same. Liked them so much we ordered more for an outdoor buffet.

These are nice knobs but are darker in color. They have some shine. We have ours on white cabinets and they look great.
