The finishes

• Polished Brass — bright, with a mirror shine. Unlacquered: nothing is sprayed over the brass, so it slowly mellows to a warmer, softer tone with handling. Buff now and then with a brass polish to keep it bright, or leave it to age naturally.
• Aged Brass — a soft, darkened patina rather than a shine, and it keeps deepening with handling and time. No two pieces age identically. Wipe with a dry cloth; avoid chemical cleaners and abrasives, which strip the patina back to raw brass.
• Satin Brass — brushed to a soft, low-sheen glow of warm gold. Unlacquered, so it slowly mellows with handling. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; please don't use metal polish on a satin finish — it burnishes the brushed grain to a shine in patches.

Made of

Solid brass throughout — not plated, not hollow. Hand-finished.

Please note

Screws are included with every hinge.

Butt hinges and matching knobs, cup pulls and handles are in our Polished, Aged and Satin Brass collections.

The whole range sits in The Windsor Collection.

Shade varies a little between screens, and between individual pieces of aged brass.
