Antique-by-Hand®

Antique-By-Hand®is our exclusive process, developed to give new brass hardware the desirable, time-worn patina of authentic antiques. Unlike hardware with a factory-applied and sealed "antique brass" finish, products finished with the Antique-By-Hand technique are individually aged and left unsealed. The result is a living finish with individuality and warm, mellow tones that will continue to age gracefully in use, just like the originals.
