Acid Washed Brass
A living finish, Acid Washed Brass is designed to develop and patina over time. Created by applying an acid wash treatment to solid brass, these pieces will age slower than raw brass hardware. Oxidisation will cause the areas where they are frequently touched will stay lighter, while the rest darkens. Use outdoors or in coastal areas will further deepen this rustic aged appearance.

Carbon Black
Carbon Black is an oxidised finish featuring a dark chocolate brown/charcoal colour. The hardware starts with a matte powdery finish and will slightly patina over time, adding a rustic feel to contemporary homes. This finish will work well with matte black tapware and is a stunning contrast against white or grey cabinetry.

Scorched Black
This finish’s name does not exaggerate – it is created by placing the brass hardware in a furnace. The brass becomes mottled and black and will continue to age over time. In areas where it is frequently touched, lighter brass undertones will begin to show through.
