A perennially popular choice for period properties, hallways and formal reception rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does polished brass require maintenance?
Our polished brass plates are lacquered, which protects the finish and means they do not require polishing. Simply wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
What is the difference between polished brass and satin brass?
Polished brass has a bright, reflective finish. Satin brass has a softer, more muted sheen — less formal and more suited to contemporary interiors.
What plate styles are available in polished brass?
Polished brass is available in Victorian, Georgian, Cast, Flat, Deco and Contour plate styles, as well as modular grid plates.
Where it works
Polished brass is a bold, warm finish that suits confident interiors. It works best in spaces where it can be part of a considered scheme — a hallway where it is the first thing a visitor sees, a kitchen where it coordinates with brass tap fittings and cabinet hardware, or a dining room where the warmth of the finish contributes to the atmosphere of the space. Polished brass is less forgiving than antique or aged brass in rooms with mixed or neutral hardware, so it works best where the rest of the room's metal finishes follow suit.
