Uniquely British
You could spend a lifetime discovering unique British buildings, furniture and landmarks; we have.
From the very beginning, Crofts and Assinder has specialised in the design and manufacture of extraordinary cabinet handles and luxury fittings. We’re proud that 2025 marks our 150th anniversary, an incredible milestone for a family business and one which we will be celebrating all year.
In our 150 year history we have had the privilege of dressing furniture at London’s Ritz and Waldorf hotels, the White House in Washington, Parliament House in Buenos Aires and ships of the Cunard and White Star Line.
Established in 1875 George Crofts and Fredrick Assinder commenced trading as brass founders at the heart of British industry in Birmingham England. To this day, Crofts & Assinder has stood the test of time and still remains in the same hands of the families that created the company at the outset.
Today we have two main brands: The Special Works range - Distinctly luxurious solid brass hardware for that extra touch of indulgence, and the Style Guide range for fantastic quality and value, designed for a refined contemporary market.
We endeavour to make the ordinary extraordinary, combining a unique blend of our British heritage with timeless design and quality.
