The History of Brass

From The Anvil's Unlacquered Brass

From The Anvil has two distinctive Unlacquered Brass finishes: Aged Brass and Polished Brass. Both are forged from a base of solid, unlacquered brass, but undergo slightly different manufacturing techniques to give each their unique appearance.

Polished Brass

Polished Brass products undergo extensive polishing to create a mesmerising depth of reflection. Polished Brass hardware is bright, reflective, and exudes luxury. Because this finish is unlacquered, it can be polished time and time again to restore its golden shine.

Aged Brass

From The Anvil's Aged Brass products are subject to an accelerated ageing process which adds character and charm to their appearance. A dark patina develops around the edges and detailed parts of the surface, whereas the smoother surfaces remain light and polished. This creates a beautiful contrast which sits wonderfully in Period properties. Over time, this finish will continue to age and naturally darken. Much like Polished Brass, it can be repolished to restore its original shine.
