Finish Details

Matte Antique Brass

Description:

A dark, even, matte-brown patina on brass. No highlights.

Protective Coating:

Baked lacquer, matte finish; wax will further protect finish.

Wear Expectations:

Will hide the eventual spotting or tarnishing that all brass incurs. High spots may wear through with heavy use; scratches may show somewhat against dark background.

Maintenance:

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

Comments:

Matte Antique is available online as a standard Coverplate finish only through 2007.
