4″ Solid Brass Box Corner – Heavy-Duty American Campaign Hardware

The 4″ Solid Brass Box Corner is our most substantial square-edge corner, designed for the grandest scale of cabinetry, steamer trunks, and architectural chests. Proudly manufactured in Connecticut and hand-finished in Pennsylvania, these corners are engineered for craftsmen who prioritize structural integrity over cheap, mass-produced alternatives.

While typical hardware store corners are “flimsy stampings” that offer little more than a thin coating, our corners are precision-cut from thick solid brass to provide genuine protection for your heirloom projects.  

Key Features

• Thick Laser-Cut Construction: Crafted from 0.040″ thick solid brass (roughly the thickness of a dime), these corners are laser-cut for absolute precision. This process ensures perfectly crisp, 90-degree angles that seat flush against your woodwork.  

• Large-Scale Reinforcement: With 4-inch legs, these corners provide maximum surface coverage, effectively shielding the vulnerable joints of oversized chests, transit trunks, and large furniture pieces from impact.

• American Heritage Quality: Every corner is cut in our Connecticut workshop and sent to our specialized finishing house in Pennsylvania for a hand-applied patina, ensuring a level of finish consistency and durability that imports cannot match.  

• Authentic Campaign Design: Modeled after 19th-century military transit hardware, the square-edge design offers a bold, traditional look that is essential for authentic furniture restoration and high-end modern builds.

Why Choose the Horton Brasses 4-Inch Box Corner?

Large trunks and heavy cabinetry require hardware that scales with the piece. A thin, stamped corner will not only look out of place on a large chest but will fail to protect the joinery under stress. Our 4-inch solid brass corners are rigid and durable, serving as a structural bracket that reinforces the corner of the box. Whether you are building a custom tack trunk for a stable or a statement coffee table for a living room, these corners provide the “heft” and professional finish your work deserves.
