Choosing the Right Brass Finish

Antique Brass vs Other Popular Ironmongery Finishes

When selecting the right hardware, it helps to understand the distinctions between finishes. Here’s how antique brass compares:

Antique Brass vs Polished Brass

Antique brass has a pre-aged look that develops further character over time. Polished brass is brighter and more reflective but may tarnish or show fingerprints in high-use areas.

Antique Brass vs Satin Brass

Satin brass is smooth and matte, giving a clean but softer look. Antique brass adds depth and vintage charm, making it ideal for traditional interiors.

Antique Brass vs Chrome and Black Finishes

Chrome and nickel finishes are cooler-toned, making them ideal for ultra-modern settings. Antique brass introduces a warmer, vintage contrast. Black finishes like matt black offer bold, minimalist style, while antique brass lends heritage flair.
