Lacquered brass — like much of our range — has a clear coating that keeps its colour consistent and slows down tarnishing.

Lacquered brass — like much of our range — has a clear coating that keeps its colour consistent and slows down tarnishing. Because the lacquer protects the metal, polishing is unnecessary and can actually damage the surface.

Routine Cleaning Steps:

● Dust regularly with a soft cloth.

● Wipe with warm soapy water as needed, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

No Polishing Allowed:

● Avoid metal polishes or strong cleaners, as these can strip or cloud the lacquer.

Handle With Care:

● Prevent scratches by avoiding rough pads or scouring sponges.

● Wipe hardware dry after exposure to moisture to preserve the finish.

Key Differences at a Glance:

● Unlacquered brass: Natural, 'living' finish that develops patina. Can be polished back if you prefer a brighter look.

● Lacquered brass: Coated for protection, designed to keep its original sheen. Needs gentler cleaning, no polishing.
