The kitchen design is in full swing, now it’s time to choose the finishing touches to your cabinetry. Armac Martin offers an array of timeless collections that blend elegance with versatile design and exceptional craftsmanship. The Gaumont Collection stands out as an iconic choice and embodies everything you would expect from a brand that has been a trusted name in luxury hardware for almost a century.

In this blog, we take you on a journey to explore the different types of handles offered in the Gaumont Collection, the rich history of this exceptional British company, how the Gaumont range can enhance any home whether it’s contemporary or traditional and a few examples from some of our projects.

The Legacy of Armac Martin

Founded in 1929 in Birmingham, England, a city renowned for its metalworking heritage, Armac Martin quickly became a leader in luxury cabinet hardware. Their dedication and exceptional craftsmanship and design have allowed them to take this industry by storm and continue to produce high-quality hardware. They have merged traditional techniques with modern innovation and the result is a collection of handles, knobs, and other accessories that are not only functional but also works of art.

Inspired by Art Deco – Let’s Take a Look at the Gaumont Collection in More Detail

With a nod to the Art Deco design era, the Gaumont Collection is inspired by the elegance and geometric beauty it comes with. The collection echoes the glamour and sophistication of early 20th-century design and naturally complements several interior concepts. Featuring a slight stepped edge and a suite of beautiful finishes, the handles within the Gaumont collection adhere to any design scheme.

The contemporary twist retains the inherent Art Deco influences and brings a modern flair to the Shaker kitchen or blending the old with the new.

A Traditional Country Home

Due to the Gaumont collection being versatile enough to complement any interior design style, it truly shines in a country home setting. What we know about country kitchens is their warm, welcoming vibe, natural materials, and timeless appeal, and their traditional qualities align seamlessly with the Gaumont range.

Add a layer of sophistication to Shaker-style kitchens, keeping the rustic charm alive and opting for antique brass or burnished brass finishes.
Enhance traditional cabinetry and wooden finishes with the subtle detailing of the Gaumont hardware. They complement many natural materials beautifully including oak and stone. Aged brass or polished nickel can create an inviting contrast against hand-painted cabinets in soft greys or whites.
For country homes that blend traditional and modern elements, the Gaumont handle can add a contemporary edge while still keeping the overall design grounded in tradition. They provide a sleek contrast to natural wood finishes or stone countertops while maintaining a cohesive, elegant look.
