It suits period homes, cottages, painted doors, oak and Shaker kitchens.

How the Antique Brass Finish is Made

Heritage Brass polishes the brass and applies a bronze patina over the whole surface. Experienced polishers then use soft brushes to remove some of the patina and expose the brass below, highlighting the variance of shades. This makes each piece both appealing and unique, so expect slight differences in shade from one piece to the next. To preserve the final appearance, a protective coating of clear electrophoretic lacquer is applied.

Antique Brass Questions

Is antique brass suitable for modern interiors?

Yes. As well as period homes, antique brass adds warmth to modern kitchens and interiors with dark paint colours, natural wood and stone.

How do I clean antique brass hardware?

Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it. Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal polish, as they can damage the clear lacquer and the hand finished patina.

What is the difference between antique brass and matt bronze?

Both are aged finishes. Matt bronze is a darker, earthy brown with chocolate undertones. Antique brass has a bronze patina brushed back by hand, so more of the warm brass shows through.

Will antique brass door handles match my antique brass cupboard knobs?

Yes. Heritage Brass uses the same antique brass finish across its door handles, cabinet hardware, window furniture, hinges and accessories. As it is hand finished, expect slight variation in shade between pieces.

Do you have antique brass locks and latches?

Heritage Brass handles are sold without locks or latches, but the York Security range by M.Marcus includes antique brass locks and latches to match.
