Living finishes
Living finishes are designed to change with time and use. Brass
components are polished and then treated in a number of different
ways to change the surface, either by accelerated aging as with the
Vintage and Burnished finishes or brushing as with our Satin Brass.
All living finishes are finished with a highly durable wax, which will
wear according to use, we do not use Lacquer, so as to avoid uneven
blotchy wear.
Brass living finishes can be used outdoors, but will be subject to the
specific atmosphere of the location and change accordingly.

Leather
Woven Leather
Leather like all natural materials will change with age, according to the situation,
exposure to sunlight and usage (or lack of). The more you use it, the better it looks,
the oils from your hands feed the leather and create a unique patina. Leather handles
should only be used internally. Please see our leather care instructions for maintenance
and cleaning.
Colour Variation
Vegetable tanning is an art rather than a science, please allow for slight variations in
colour from batch to batch, this is all part of the charm of using such a beautiful and
natural material.
