When your hands are full, they are so easy to use. No turning a knob; you can use your elbow, just push down on the lever. Venetian bronze. I was looking for an "edged oil rubbed bronze," but did not offer a finish in that description. The pictured knob appeared to be the oil rubbed bronze, but there is a variation from the pictured color to the actual color.  However, it was very slight. We are well pleased with the look and performance of this knob set. Would definatly recommend
