ANTIQUED BRASS

Our brass is a beautiful, non-corrosive, natural metal that is ideal for indoor and outdoor settings. The antiqued brass finish is produced by distressing brass to create a soft patina that is then treated with antiquing solution to speed up the natural tarnishing process to produce a  subtle, darkened, matt tone for an aged appeal.

As a natural material, brass does not always provide a completely flawless finish. This is one of the reasons why we enjoy working with solid, honest materials and think that it adds to the charm of the finished product. If you you prefer a more uniform look, you may wish to consider one of our painted choices.

Antiqued brass is an incredibly versatile finish that works well with any colourway and building materials such as brick, stone, plaster or woodwork, and looks equally at home in a modern property as it does a period one.

CARE ADVICE

We always recommend using gloves when installing your brass lights.

Our antiqued brass is un-lacquered so will continue to develop a darker dull patina over time. This is particularly hastened in harsh outdoor or damper environments. To clean antiqued brass, we recommend buffing it with a clean, lint free soft cloth to remove finger marks, dirt and residues.

We also offer a full refinishing service that will restore your product to the same condition it was when it originally left our workshop. For more advice, see our Wiring & Finishing Services.

LACQUERED ANTIQUED BRASS

We have developed this version of our most popular antiqued brass finish specifically for our bathroom accessories. We create this traditional look by distressing the brass to bring out the underlying patina and then treating it with an antiquing solution to speed up the natural tarnishing process.

We then lightly coat each piece with a clear, matt lacquer which seals it, preventing unwanted marks to towels and garments. Our brass products are all non-corrosive and ideal for bathroom use.

CARE ADVICE

We always recommend using gloves when installing your brass lights. As this is a lacquered finish, it does not require any on-going upkeep, however we do advise that you wipe it over with a clean, lint free soft cloth from time to time to remove any residual build-up of dust and dirt.

We also offer a full refinishing service that will restore your product to the same condition it was when it originally left our workshop. For more advice, see our Wiring & Finishing Services.

POLISHED BRASS

A beautiful, highly reflective, non corrosive finish that is suitable for use indoors and outside. Polished brass works well with any colourway creating a classic, bright look that never dates and looks equally at home in a contemporary setting as a traditional one. As this finish is un-lacquered, it will tarnish over time to a darker colour.

CARE ADVICE

We always recommend using gloves when installing your brass lights. As our brass is a natural, untreated product it will deepen down and develop a darker patina over time. If you wish to retain a bright, polished effect we recommend the products are regularly cleaned with brass polish and a soft cloth.

We also offer a full refinishing service that will restore your product to the same condition it was when it originally left our workshop. For more advice, see our Wiring & Finishing Services.

HERITAGE COPPER

We create this traditional look by distressing solid copper to bring out the underlying patina of the metal, then treating it with an antiquing solution to speed up the natural tarnishing process. This produces a beautifully soft, heritage finish.

Copper is an natural, non corrisive metal suitable for use indoors and outside. As such, it does not always provide a completely flawless finish which is one of the reasons why we enjoy working with solid, honest materials as we feel that it adds to the charm of the finished product. If you are looking for a uniform finish you may wish to consider one of our painted choices.

CARE ADVICE

We always recommend using gloves when installing your copper lights.

Our Heritage Copper products are created from natural, unlacquered copper and will continue to age and develop a darker dull patina over time in your home. This is particularly hastened in harsh outdoor or damper environments. To clean the copper, we recommend buffing it with a clean, lint free soft cloth to remove finger marks, dirt and residues.

We also offer a full refinishing service that will restore your product to the same condition it was when it originally left our workshop. For more advice, see our Wiring & Finishing Services.

BEESWAX

A traditional metalworking technique used by craftsmen since Tudor times. We heat each piece of steel until it darkens and then dip the item into hot, natural beeswax. As the beeswax cools and hardens it gives the metal a traditional soft, black finish.

As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. Beeswax is not waterproof, so will need to be re-waxed occasionally and is not suitable for outdoor or bathroom use.

CARE ADVICE

The natural beeswax coating on our products requires some light maintenance as the natural wax seal over the metal work can deteriorate over time.

To avoid any unsightly corrosion occurring we advise that you apply a fresh coat of pure natural beeswaxwith a lint free soft cloth every 3 – 6 months. If the natural seal of the wax has perished the product may suffer some oxidisation. In this case you simply rub down the rusted area with a fine wire wool, taking care not to mark the product, and then re seal with a generous layer of natural beeswax.

NICKEL

Our nickel finish has a bright, highly reflective, silvery quality that is more akin to chromium than many other 'brushed steel' nickel finishes available elsewhere. Its lustre is created by plating solid brass with highly polished nickel then finishing it with a flash layer of chromium that will ensure a long life.

Nickel is a versatile finish that can be used indoors and outside. It works well with most colourways and natural building materials, and being highly reflective, it will catch the light more than our painted finishes, so is great to use if you want to make a statement, as it will help draw your eye. Its corrosion free qualities make it an ideal choice for bathrooms.

CARE ADVICE

Simply maintain the finish by regularly wiping it over with a slightly damp, soft cloth using a very mild soapy water solution. This will remove any grease spots or smudges on the product. For a more persistent blemishes, we suggest using a soft lint free cloth and a small amount of chrome polish.

OLD GOLD

A beautiful, dull old gold finish that gives an historic 'painterly' look akin to antique gilding and creates a subtle sense of luxury.
