A Living Finish That Ages Beautifully
Our Classic Aged Brass finish is designed to change over time. Because the brass is left unlacquered, exposure to air, moisture and everyday handling gradually transform its appearance, creating a richer, more personal patina with use.
Of all the finishes in the Ottone Hardware range, Aged Brass will evolve the most. Areas that are touched frequently naturally become brighter as the highest points gently polish, while recessed details retain their deeper aged tones. With time, the finish develops character, giving each cabinet handle, drawer pull, knob and latch an appearance shaped by the home in which it lives.
This natural ageing is an inherent characteristic of solid brass and an integral part of the beauty of a living finish.
Handcrafted from Solid Brass
Every Ottone Hardware piece begins as a solid-cast brass casting, valued for its strength, weight and longevity. Brass naturally resists corrosion, does not rust and even possesses inherent antimicrobial properties, making it an ideal material for cabinet hardware used throughout the home.
Each piece is carefully polished before being manually aged using traditional techniques to create its distinctive patina. Because this is a handcrafted process, subtle variation in tone and texture is both expected and celebrated. These differences are what give each piece its own individual character while remaining true to the collection.
The Aged Brass finish is particularly well suited to shaker kitchens, traditional cabinetry and contemporary interiors seeking warmth and authenticity. Its evolving patina ensures every installation becomes more individual over time, making it a favourite for homeowners, interior designers and renovation projects alike.
