The Burnished Brass finish offers a softer and more vintage look than the Polished Brass No Lacquer finish. This finish is less reflective than Polished Brass. Every Burnished Brass piece is hand burnished with a tool to create non-directional grain and is then waxed. Due to the burnishing process, the brass is more exposed to the elements than Polished Brass, causing Burnished Brass to darken faster.

To achieve Dark Antique Brass, we apply acidic compounds, carefully relieve and finally apply a proprietary overlay that results in the subtle look. This finish is darker than Medium Antique Brass but not as dark as oxidized bronze. You can expect the Dark Antique Brass finish to lighten over time where heavily handled to expose the underlying brass and have the patina itself darken as it ages. Variations in tone and depth are to be expected, as with any hand finish.
This is the darkest non-plated standard finish that is offered. To achieve Dark Oxidized Bronze our workers employ a precisely calculated series of procedures which remain a well-guarded secret. This finish does not reveal any brass undertones when it is freshly finished. However, the finish will lighten over time where heavily handled and when exposed to the elements. Please note, the Dark Oxidized Bronze finish is darkened brass.
Our finishers begin with a nickel plate and employ a series of secret processes to achieve this subtle and varied Dark Pewter finish. You can expect this Pewter finish to lighten and reveal nickel undertones over time in heavily handled areas and have the patina darken in areas that are not frequently touched. Variations in tone and depth are to be expected, as with any hand finish.

To achieve Light Antique Brass, we use a seven step proprietary process. This finish is darker than Burnished Brass.

For certain special projects, our clients have elected to order hardware that combines materials and finishes in imaginative ways. We’ve worked with wood, leather, stone, crystal and precious metals. We can also powder coat hardware. As one might imagine the possibilities are endless, so we have simply provided an edited selection of the materials and finishes we offer. While combinations are somewhat intuitive, there are certainly limitations. We ask you consult a member of our team about achieving your ideal handle and we will work creatively to make it happen.

The Matte Nickel finish is created by applying precise mechanical erosion to brass and plating with Nickel. Unlike Burnished Nickel with its finely satined finish, Matte Nickel has a deeper, more uniform surface texture that can be felt with one’s hand. Optionally, top coatings are offered in glossy or satin powdercoat to increase durability or change the sheen of the finish.
