Optimum Brasses provides a selection of three premium materials: brass, bronze, and white bronze. All our products feature an unlacquered finish, allowing them to develop a natural patina over time, known as a living finish.
Our items are crafted using the traditional lost wax casting method and are hand-finished, rather than produced through mass manufacturing techniques. While our hardware may look similar at first glance, the subtle variations in each piece add to the unique character of your Optimum Brasses order. We provide hardware that radiates genuine authenticity, effortlessly blending into its environment once installed.
Our signature material and finish combination is our classic traditional antique brass. Explore examples of this distinctive finish along with other available options below.
