Why Brass Has Never Gone Out of Style

Brass has furnished homes for centuries, and it hasn't survived by accident. Unlike chrome or nickel finishes that scratch through to reveal a dull base metal, solid brass ages from the surface down — each fingerprint, each year of use, folding into a patina that makes the piece feel more, not less, considered. It sits comfortably in a traditional foyer and just as easily in a minimalist kitchen, which is part of why designers keep returning to it. Every fixture in this collection is cast in solid brass, not brass-plated steel, so the warmth you see on day one is the same warmth that will still be there in twenty years.
