February Moodboard

February Vibes

The wild weather this week has seen us beavering away cosily in our offices on the banks of the Taw Estuary, working on refreshing our showroom ready for Spring.

Drawing inspiration from the rich earthy tones nature has to offer, the muted hues we’ve used in our recent moodboard offer comfort and warmth and work really well with all brass finishes.

With Spring just around the corner we’ve also been busy adding beautiful new hardware to our website. We love the Regency collection for its simple, timeless design – ideal for adding character to period properties. The elegant pull handles in the Regency range are ideal for using on kitchen cupboards, cabinets and drawers.

Take a closer look

To achieve the perfect aged appearance, our Aged Brass products undergo an accelerated ageing process before surface areas are repolished, creating a striking contrast between the darker patina left around the edges and recesses and brighter surface areas. As an unlacquered, living finish Aged Brass will continue to oxidise, meaning it will darken over time. If the product becomes too dark or tarnished, it can be polished to restore the brighter finish on surface areas.

If Brass isn’t for you and you and prefer a luxe look, here they are in Polished Nickel:

The Regency Pull Handles are also available in Polished Brass. This is a highly polished timeless finish and works well paired with light colours and subtle textural details to achieve a luxe, contemporary look.

The classic Black finish is elegant and sophisticated and an ideal choice for both classic and contemporary style interiors.

The Black finish has a distinctive, subtle sheen. Hand forged from mild steel it’s an extremely low maintenance choice, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability as a result of being powder coated, then baked in a high temperature oven during the final stages of manufacturing.

All of The Regency Pull Handles are available in three sizes and sold as a single pull. Ideal for kitchen drawers, cupboards, cabinets and furniture.

Autumn Home Updates

Autumn Home Updates

Have you heard – it’s getting cosy!

Embrace the golden light and shorter days and let’s be drawn inside our homes to enjoy the comfort and warmth as this beautiful season unfurls.

Consider the warm, rich, Autumnal tones of brass in all its guises, whether it be aged brass or burnished brass, or our stunning Autumn bronze finish.

Burnished Brass

A little bit about Burnished Brass: each product is forged from solid brass then undergoes an accelerated aging process to give it the beautiful dark patina you can see here. The warm undertones perfectly pair with earthy shades such as browns, greens and warm neutrals.

Aged Brass

Choose Aged Brass for the warm depth it adds. Aged Brass is perfect if you have a period property and it looks wonderful with strong, dark paint colours.

Manufactured from solid, unlacquered Brass, our Aged Brass products undergo an accelerated ageing process before surface areas are repolished, creating a striking contrast between the darker patina left around the edges and recesses, and brighter surface areas. As an unlacquered, ‘living’ finish Aged Brass will continue to oxidise, meaning it will darken over time. If the product becomes too dark or tarnished, it can be polished to restore the brighter finish on surface areas.

Autumn Bronze

Cast from solid bronze here in the UK. Autumn Bronze finish is warmly textured in appearance. It’s a living finish with an Autumn like array of brown and red undertones that will get even better with time, resulting in a stunning rich finish.

Our beautiful Lions Head Door Knocker in Autumn Bronze is meant to impress!

Antique Brass

Forged from solid brass, the beautiful dark patina of antique brass is a result of an accelerated aging process.

The warm undertones of perfectly pair with earthy shades such as browns, greens and greys. The combining of stone and wood, particularly the dark tones of walnut, make a perfect pairing.

As an approved @fromtheanvil stockist, we offer the complete range of this beautiful new finish. Visit our website to view the full range.

All the products in our collection complement our values and design aesthetic and we eschew trends in favour of timeless style.

Fireside Essentials

Consider well made, thoughtful pieces for your home this season. Materials such as willow, wicker, natural wood, brass and pewter are perfect and sit beautifully alongside one another.

We’re passionate about detail, about improving the aesthetics of every day things and our mantra is to invest in heirloom quality hardware and homewares accessories.
