The Burnished Brass finish offers a softer and more vintage look than the Polished Brass No Lacquer finish. This finish is less reflective than Polished Brass. Every Burnished Brass piece is hand burnished with a tool to create non-directional grain and is then waxed. Due to the burnishing process, the brass is more exposed to the elements than Polished Brass, causing Burnished Brass to darken faster.
Burnished Gold has a warmer and redder undertone than our brass finishes. To achieve the finish, solid brass is polished, plated in copper, nickel, then three different layers of gold with a hard gold and a 24 ct final. The part is then is very lightly burnished with a cotton cloth to achieve the muted shine. Unlike all other finishes, Gold does not tarnish.
Burnished Nickel offers a softer, more forgiving, and more aged look than Polished Nickel. To achieve a Burnished Nickel finish, brass is polished, hand burnished to create non-directional grain, nickel plated, and then burnished again.
For certain special projects, our clients have elected to order hardware that combines materials and finishes in imaginative ways. We’ve worked with wood, leather, stone, crystal and precious metals. We can also powder coat hardware. As one might imagine the possibilities are endless, so we have simply provided an edited selection of the materials and finishes we offer. While combinations are somewhat intuitive, there are certainly limitations. We ask you consult a member of our team about achieving your ideal handle and we will work creatively to make it happen.
We can incorporate stone in a number of creative ways. We can use the the stone as grips for pulls or levers, we can use stone veneer as a field covering for escutcheon plates or flush pulls or we can use smaller stones to punctuate particular parts of various handles for example the hot or cold inserts on vanity cross handles or the boss at the center of a knob. These variations are relatively achievable but require a degree of engineering in order to best select the type and thickness of the materials. Once an order is received, we often provide renderings of our client’s creations to fine tune the plan and ensure their hopes are met.

We can incorporate leather in a number of interesting ways. We can use the material to wrap components like grips for pulls or levers, we can use leather as a field covering for escutcheon plates or flush pulls or we can use saddle leather to serve as the pull itself. These variations are relatively achievable but require a degree of engineering in order to best select the type and thickness of the hide. Clients sometimes supply the leather for matching other elements of an interior.
To achieve Dark Antique Brass, we apply acidic compounds, carefully relieve and finally apply a proprietary overlay that results in the subtle look. This finish is darker than Medium Antique Brass but not as dark as oxidized bronze. You can expect the Dark Antique Brass finish to lighten over time where heavily handled to expose the underlying brass and have the patina itself darken as it ages. Variations in tone and depth are to be expected, as with any hand finish.

This is the darkest non-plated standard finish that is offered. To achieve Dark Oxidized Bronze our workers employ a precisely calculated series of procedures which remain a well-guarded secret. This finish does not reveal any brass undertones when it is freshly finished. However, the finish will lighten over time where heavily handled and when exposed to the elements. Please note, the Dark Oxidized Bronze finish is darkened brass.
Our finishers begin with a nickel plate and employ a series of secret processes to achieve this subtle and varied Dark Pewter finish. You can expect this Pewter finish to lighten and reveal nickel undertones over time in heavily handled areas and have the patina darken in areas that are not frequently touched. Variations in tone and depth are to be expected, as with any hand finish.
The EC-1006 knob was inspired by an American Art Deco design of the 1930s. A slight outward flaring of the bullnose edge softens the strict geometry of the stepped face. The knob is adaptable to a variety of interiors, depending on the choice of finish; polished nickel emphasizes the modernity of the design, while burnished brass and patinated finishes portray a more traditional appearance. Diameter 2-1/4”, projection 2-1/4”, rose diameter 2”. See all available finishes here.
While generally employed in the most public areas of recent projects, the No 1017 comes from the most functional of all designs. Often referred to as back of house, this knob found its origins in service areas and equipment rooms. Its companion lever, the EC-2017, has a similar pedigree. The design of the EC-1017 knob, dating to the early 20th Century, eliminates surface ornament and emphasizes the functional properties of the handle. A slight step joins the handle to the straight shank, which is met by a round-edged rose with three exposed screws. The resulting design is both classic and modern. Diameter 2-1/4”, projection 2-1/8”, rose diameter 2”. See all available finishes here.
