Oh yes, unlaquered brass is best! It’s more expensive but so worth it. Unlaquered brass is a raw material, it is often referred to as a living finish, isn’t that lovely! If it is shown a little tlc your brass product will, over time, develop a beautiful patina.

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.

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.
