Our Finishes
As leading luxury architectural ironmongers, our BrassArt products are available in any of our finishes.
All finishes for our brass hardware are either electroplated or living finishes (lacquered, waxed or un-lacquered).
We also now offer a range of ‘Inlay’ products using authentic shell or faux leathers.
Electroplated Finishes
Electroplating is used for both decorative and practical purposes. It is a finishing process whereby a thin layer of metal coats a substrate, in our case brass. The functional benefits of plating are protection of the base metal and corrosion resistance.
We offer a variety of electroplated finishes, allowing flexibility to suit the theme and colour scheme of any project.

Living Finishes
Part of our luxury architectural hardware includes living brass finishes. Colour and texture variation is inherent in the creation of these hand finished patinas. Once installed, touch, time and environment should lead to gradual wear and oxidisation, lending character and elegance. This is part of their charm.
