Finish Care
Antique Brass
To achieve our Antique Brass finish, we take our Satin Brass product and age each item individually by hand. The item is then rubbed back with a soft cloth to lighten the finish; after which it is baked to set. Once baked, a clear lacquer is applied to protect the surface. Each product in this finish is hand aged, meaning each product has its own distinct variation and depth of colour, reflecting a mix of lighter and darker finishes.
Care: Clean it regularly with a damp soft cloth and be sure to keep it dry.
Caution: Take care to not damage the lacquer layer, as once this occurs the product will continue to age. With use, the finish will wear and reveal more brass which will also age.

Satin Chrome
To achieve this finish we apply a polished, mirror- like chrome plate to our brass products. The chrome plate is then carefully brushed to remove shine and develop a sleek satin finish. This highly durable finish will remain at its best for years to come with occasional cleaning. This finish is covered by a lifetime guarantee against corrosion.
Care: Clean it regularly with a damp soft cloth and be sure to keep it dry.

Polished Brass
A classic finish that is first polished and then lacquered for protection. This finish will age and tarnish over time through natural wear, developing a unique character.
Care: Clean it regularly with a damp soft cloth and be sure to keep it dry.
Caution: Take care not to damage the lacquer layer. This finish is not suitable for coastal areas, as exposure to salt air can likely cause tarnishing.
Antique Copper
To achieve this finish, we plate a brass product in copper, it is then antiqued to give it a dark finish. Before setting, the antique finish is carefully rubbed back by hand to lighten the colour and reveal copper highlights. Lacquer is applied to the surface. Each product in this finish is hand aged, meaning each product has its own distinct variation and depth of colour. Designed to age, as the lacquer breaks down at touch points, this finish will continue to wear, showing brass highlights and forming distinct characteristics that look beautiful at every stage of its life.
Care: Clean it regularly with a damp soft cloth and be sure to keep it dry.
Caution: Take care to not damage the lacquer layer, as once this occurs the product will continue to age. With use, the finish will wear and reveal more copper which will also age.
Matt Black
Depending on the item, our Matt Black finish can be either powder coated or treated with an ageing process. However it is achieved, our Matt Black finish is both durable and stunning.
Matt Black hardware provides a striking contrast on white or timber applications and is truly a timeless finish.
Care: Clean it regularly with a damp soft cloth and be sure to keep it dry.
Caution: Be sure not scratch or chip, or this will reveal the brass.
