Hardware Renaissance, a company that specializes in handmade iron and bronze pieces, has launched a new patina known as Brushed Bronze. The patina is meant to look like champagne.
Hand-applied patinas vary slightly with organic hardware. The creation process begins with the sandcasting of fine silicon bronze. Each bit of hardware is refined, polished and finished by hand with patinas and waxes for a finish that will age and mature over time without tarnishing. The finish can be maintained in its original state with regular waxing.
Hardware Renaissance has made the Brushed Bronze finish available exclusively with its solid bronze hardware collections, which includes both traditional European designs and contemporary styles.
