Pros and cons of polished brass

Benefits: a classic heritage finish, suits period properties, pairs well with timber and warm tones, and creates a consistent “whole-house” look.

Things to consider: like many polished finishes, it can show fingerprints more easily than satin/brushed finishes, so it may need occasional wiping in high-touch areas.

Internal and external use

The From The Anvil Polished Brass range is suitable for internal doors and is commonly used on feature doors and traditional interiors. For external doors, we recommend checking the product details to confirm suitability for your environment (especially in coastal or exposed locations), and ensuring you select the correct fixings and compatible locks/latches for your door type.

Choosing the right pieces for your project

To get the best result, it helps to match your door handles with the right supporting items: escutcheons for locked doors, bathroom turns for privacy doors, and knockers/letter plates for front entrances. If you’re updating a property, replacing like-for-like is often easiest—measure key centres and check your existing lock/latch type before ordering.
