Care guide
Our antique unlacquered finishes are designed to naturally oxidise and therefore this finish will age and change in appearance over time. The occasional use of a damp cloth and mild detergent is recommended to gently remove any dirt. All hardware must be left dry to prevent staining.

What is a living finish?
A living finish is when the brass has not had a protective lacquer applied and will instead naturally oxidise over time to reveal a beautiful patina. The charm of living finishes is in the gradual ageing over time. Please note that living finishes used in high use areas or harsh environments will increase the process of patination.
What finish should I use for high usage areas?
Both lacquered and unlacquered finishes are suitable and so it depends on your desired aesthetic. Lacquered finishes are best suited for high-usage areas if you do not wish for the finish to change in appearance over time. Unlacquered finishes are equally suitable, however, the finish will age and change in appearance over time.
What is a lacquer?
Brass naturally oxidises over time which can change the finish of your product and so a lacquer is an organic coating used to form a protective layer between the brass and the environment. This lacquer prevents the oxidation process which, in turn, prevents the finish changing in appearance over time.
