Brassart is a specialist manufacturer of period and Heritage products in what once was the heart of England’s industrial base, the Black Country. Now most factories are closed or gone, but Brassart continues to produce truly British products using traditional skills and techniques.

The business was founded in 1955 by the Collins brothers in the basement of their home under the name of Brassart Craft. They had a flair for the aesthetics of door furniture combined with the practical skills to be successful.

The brothers retired in 1988 and the company was owned in the following ten years by two public companies before returning to private company ownership in May 1998.

The expertise in casting brass, brushed lacquering and hand finishing has led from a small family business in Birmingham to the current factory in Lye and sales in over forty countries.

Long renowned for the range and quality of finishes from ‘Lye’ Polished Brass to Gold Plated Brass, the authentic period fittings can recreate an accurate historical scene in buildings of importance whilst also putting that perfect finishing touch to areas of new interior design. In special situations Brassart can make use of the extensive archive of patterns dating back to the 17th century, or alternatively, the craftsmen can exactly match customer requirements.

Each piece of door furniture, bathroom accessory or electrical fitting made in the factory is crafted from local materials and hand finished and polished by craftsmen using timeless techniques.

Brassart is committed to combining the skills and values of the past with the performance and standards of the future. Traditional methods, authentic designs and quality workmanship merging to give the best concept in brass.
