Inspiration - Magnificent Brass

Brass was a very common metal around the turn of the century and was found in brackets, lamps, knobs and hooks, not to mention candlesticks and other ornaments. By the late 19th century, the antique brass was popular, but in the early 1900s it would again be shiny and polished again. During the 1910s, the trend fluctuated again, and one liked to let the brass darken, which also lasted throughout the first half of the 20th century.

The old-style brass details provide warmth and genuineness and make your home even more homely. Our items are made of solid brass, with a weight that lies nicely in your hand. Most of our brass products are untreated, which means that they will age with dignity, darken and just become more beautiful over time. Let yourself be inspired by some of our brass favorites that never go out of style!
