Finishes & Natural Variations

Our wall plates are crafted from solid brass and finished entirely by hand. This process gives each piece a deeper, more refined look than plated alternatives, while naturally allowing for subtle variations from one item to another.

Aged Bronze (Hand-Brushed) — a rich, deep tone with a soft, greenish patina. The hand-brushed process ensures that every piece has its own unique character.

Antique Brass (Hand-Brushed) — an artisanal brushed finish with intentional variation. These differences are part of the design language, not imperfections.

Unlacquered Antique Brass (Hand-Brushed) — a living finish with no protective coating. Delivered with an aged appearance, it will continue to evolve over time as it reacts to air, touch, and its environment.

Satin Brass — a smooth brushed finish sealed with a protective lacquer. It maintains its original tone and slows down natural aging.

Stainless Steel — a clean, cool metallic finish with a refined brushed texture.

Matte Black — a solid brass base coated in a deep matte black for a bold, architectural presence.

White — a clean, minimalist coating over solid brass for a crisp, understated look.

Batch variation & hand-finishing notes:

Because each plate is finished by hand, slight differences in tone and patina between batches are expected. Factors such as brushing pressure, polishing, paint mixing, and even humidity can influence the final appearance.

Most finishes may vary by up to approximately 10% between batches.

For Unlacquered Antique Brass, a distinct oxidizing process is used. As a result, variations can be more pronounced, sometimes reaching up to 30% lighter or darker tones.

To ensure consistency, we make every effort to ship items from the same production batch whenever possible.

These natural variations are an inherent characteristic of genuine brass and are not considered defects.
