Understanding the character and care of meraki.'s solid brass hardware finishes
The Character of Brass
At meraki., we believe in the enduring beauty of solid brass. Each piece in our hardware range is crafted from solid brass, chosen for its depth, richness, and exceptional durability. This material forms the foundation for finishes that bring both character and longevity to your spaces.
Most of our finishes are permanently sealed using advanced electroplating or PVD processes, ensuring consistent appearance over time. However, one finish stands apart: Unlacquered Brass is a living finish, designed to evolve naturally with use and age.
The subtle changes in patina, tone, and texture that develop over time aren't flaws — they're part of the intended aesthetic, adding unique character that can't be replicated. Understanding your chosen finish helps you care for it properly and appreciate its individual qualities as it settles into your home.
