Soft Antiqued Brass Maintenance

A SIMPLE GUIDE TO CARING FOR YOUR SOFT ANTIQUED BRASS PRODUCTS

 

About the finish

We’ve carefully chosen our Soft Antiqued Brass Ironmongery finish to feel truly authentic - like a well-loved period piece that has been gently polished and handled over generations. The unlacquered brass reveals subtle darker tones within grooves and detailing, while the more exposed surfaces take on a soft, understated sheen rather than a high shine.

Each piece is individually hand-finished, giving it its own character and depth. The overall tone is warm and mellow without being too brassy/yellow.

Suitability

Suitable for interior and exterior use.
As Soft Antiqued Brass pieces are made from solid brass they are resistant to rust and corrosion, however as the finish is unlacquered, it will tarnish and develop a natural patina over time, and this will happen at an accelerated rate if used outside.

Maintenance

With day to day use over time the finish will wear in places to reveal the metal underneath and create an authentic character. To minimise this wear, please apply a good quality wax polish regularly.

Top tips

Any scratches that reveal the Brass beneath will tarnish and dull down over time, blending in and enhancing the authentic antique look.
As the matching screws are solid Brass, a reasonably soft metal, use a pilot screw to make the hole so that minimal pressure is put on the screws themselves.
