What is aged brass architectural hardware?

Aged brass architectural hardware is door and building ironmongery finished to create a warm, heritage-style brass appearance. It’s popular for period renovations and premium interiors where a softer, characterful finish is preferred.

Will aged brass finishes look identical across all items?

Not always. Aged brass can vary slightly by manufacturer and production batch, which is normal for character finishes. For the closest match, it’s best to keep related items within the same range and brand where possible.

Are aged brass door handles better on backplates or roses?

Backplates suit traditional styling and are useful for covering existing marks or holes. Roses offer a more minimal, modern look. The best choice depends on your door style and whether you’re replacing existing handles or fitting new.

How do I clean and maintain aged brass hardware?

Use a soft cloth and mild cleaning methods. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish and reduce its character over time.

What should I check before ordering aged brass handles or knobs?

Check your door thickness, latch/lock type, and any existing handle fixing points. If replacing like-for-like, measure centres and plate sizes to ensure the new hardware fits and covers existing marks.

Coordinating aged brass accessories to help you finish the job properly

Why choose Aged Brass?

Timeless appearance: suits period properties, heritage interiors, and premium refurbishments
Warmer than polished brass: a softer, more subtle tone that still feels luxurious
Great for matching schemes: pairs well with natural timber, painted doors, and neutral walls

Things to consider before you buy

Finish variation: aged brass can vary slightly between batches and brands — that’s part of its character
Maintenance: use gentle cleaning methods; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the finish
Door type & size: check your door thickness and existing lock/centre measurements before ordering

Choosing the right style for your doors

If you’re replacing existing hardware, match what’s already on the door (handle type, fixing points, and lock setup). For new installations, consider whether you prefer the classic look of backplates or the modern simplicity of roses. For traditional homes, rim knobs and heritage designs often suit panel doors and cottage-style interiors.
