Antique Brass Lacquered

The product is hand sateened to give a brushed satin finish. An antique patina is then applied to the brass before being relieved back to give the antique finish.

Finally, a highly durable clear gloss lacquer is applied and baked in our ovens to ensure the lacquer cures to offer lasting protection.Β 

We recommend the occasional use of a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaning products should never be used as they will escalate the speed in which the lacquer breaks down.

Antique Brass Unlacquered

The product is hand sateened to give a brushed satin finish. An antique patina is then applied to the brass before being relieved back to give the antique finish.

As this is a natural living finish the finish will naturally oxidise and patina over time. The more the product is handled the faster the finish will wear away, eventually leading to a more natural brass appearance.

We recommend the occasional use of a soft cloth and the use of a quality metal polish will help preserve the finish if highly polished. Our antique unlacquered finishes are designed to naturally oxidise overtime. We also recommend that cleaning should be kept to a minimum with occasional very light use of a soft cloth.
