Edgar Berebi Kingston Hudson Valley colonial cabinet hardware

Edgar Berebi Kingston is the brand's Hudson Valley colonial family, the line that translates early-American Federal and Dutch colonial decorative reference into jewelry-grade hardware. The named city served as New York's first state capital and gives the line an explicit historical anchor: tulip and pineapple medallions on the knob faces, restrained classical scrollwork along the bail backs, and a warm-traditional reading distinct from Berebi's English and French period lines. Each piece is hand-finished in the United States and built per order; expect 6-8 weeks from order to door.

What sets Kingston apart

The tulip and pineapple medallion centerpieces are the line's strongest identifiers. Most Berebi knob faces use European-derived motifs (scrolls, urns, crowns); Kingston applies low-relief tulip and pineapple ornament drawn from Dutch colonial decorative tradition. The pineapple is a particularly American hospitality reference, and the combination keeps Kingston cleanly distinct from any English or French line in the catalog. The bail-back scrollwork stays restrained enough that the line still works on transitional cabinetry.

Buying considerations

Kingston fits Federal-revival kitchens, Dutch colonial homes, Hudson Valley historic-district cabinetry, and any kitchen reaching for jewelry-grade traditional hardware with explicit early-American reference. Painted inset cabinetry in heritage greens, dove, and cream gives the line the right backdrop. Brushed antique brass and museum-grade gold are the natural finish picks. The 6-8 week made-to-order window applies; plan around it rather than working against it.
