Finishes
All our door objects are made of solid brass.
Brass allows an infinity of renderings, from the most matte to the most shiny, and lends itself perfectly to surface treatments. A versatile material, as much as our concept.
Eternal shine or fading over time, patinated, brushed, lacquered in white, black, red, everything is possible with brass.
We entrust these finishes to highly qualified French companies. The parts are then assembled and packaged in our workshop in Bordeaux.
natural brass
Description
The raw brass is slightly softened and polished mechanically. Deliberately left NATURAL, it will take on a patina over time and with use. Before delivery we apply a wax protection to the object in order to slow down the patina.
What happens over time
It is a LIVING MATERIAL.
Objects will skate.
The straw yellow color of brass will turn golden yellow then slowly brown to approach a bronze hue.
The brass will remain golden yellow on the handled parts, the patina will develop more quickly on the parts not touched by the hand. Natural brass may appear shiny on certain parts (BALL shape for example) but its appearance quickly becomes matt to develop its own character.
Outside, brass will patinate faster and differently depending on the climate and will require more regular maintenance if desired.
Interview
>> If you prefer the piece to develop its own character, simply clean with a soft, lint-free cloth, possibly a damp, soapy sponge before wiping well.
>> You can also use a 000 steel wool which allows a more thorough cleaning while maintaining a patina.
>> If you wish to restore the initial finish, the object of the door should ideally be dismantled, then use a good quality brass cream, rinse with lukewarm water, wipe well with a soft cloth, and possibly then apply a protective wax for brass.
(following the recommendations of the product manufacturer)
Attention :
The plates are fixed with small screws. Over the course of assembly and disassembly, the openings in the door can grow, no longer allowing the screws to play their role. Any dismantling must therefore be carried out with care.
If the objects are not disassembled: we recommend
to properly protect your door when you use a cleaning cream or a
wax (especially if the door is raw wood, without paint or varnish).
Mirror polished
Description
The brass is POLISHED manually until obtaining a shiny mirror effect.
What happens over time
It is a LIVING MATERIAL.
With this finish, our objects will take on a patina over time and with use. The patina on this finish is slower than on a natural brass.
The straw yellow color of brass will turn golden yellow then slowly brown to approach a bronze hue.
The brass will remain golden yellow on the handled parts, the patina will develop more quickly on the parts not touched by the hand. The pieces will then brown nicely to develop their own character.
Outside, the brass will patinate more quickly and differently depending on the climate and will require more regular maintenance if desired.
Interview
>> If you prefer the piece to develop its own character, simply clean with a very soft, lint-free cloth, possibly use a damp, soapy sponge and then wipe well.
ATTENTION the very fine polishing can be scratched easily.
>> If you wish to restore the initial finish, the object of the door should ideally be dismantled, then use a good quality brass cream, rinse with lukewarm water, wipe well with a soft cloth, and possibly then apply a protective wax for brass.
