Finish Details

Antique Copper

Description:

Antiqued and highlighted satin brass with a protective tinted lacquer coating.

Protective Coating:

Baked, tinted lacquer with a satin finish.

Wear Expectations:

While no protective coating is perfect or eternal, this is pretty durable.

Maintenance:

Simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use brass polish or harsh cleaners and detergents on lacquered surfaces.

Comments:

Lacquer coatings were originally intended to prolong the shelf life of polished goods and to encourage the illusion of "maintenance-free" beauty. The truly wealthy, of course, had servants to polish their brass. Lacquer works best for the rest of us.
