Brass Light Fixtures

Yes, brass light fixtures will naturally age over time, and many people love this aspect of brass. As it ages, the brass develops a patina, giving it a more vintage, antique look. However, if you prefer your brass to stay shiny and new, you can opt for our lacquered brass finish, which prevents the metal from aging as quickly. It's a great choice for customers who want a long-lasting polished look.

Brass light fixtures come in a variety of finishes, offering different styles to suit various design preferences. Five common finishes include brushed brass, which has a subtle, textured look; distressed brass, for a more vintage, aged appearance; polished brass, known for its shiny and reflective surface; antique brass, which offers a darker, old-world charm; and satin brass, a softer, matte finish that blends modern and traditional elements. These finishes provide flexibility in achieving the desired aesthetic for any space.

Brass can tarnish in humid environments, but a lacquered finish provides a protective layer that reduces the risk. However, we still do not recommend installing our brass lighting fixtures outdoors. Over time, exposure to humidity and weather conditions can weaken the protective finish, leading to tarnishing. For outdoor use, it's best to choose materials specifically designed to withstand harsh conditions.

Brass light fixtures can be installed in various rooms.They work well in living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways, adding a touch of classic elegance. Brass can also be a great choice for bedrooms. If your decor leans traditional or vintage, brass enhances that aesthetic beautifully. For modern homes, opt for sleek brass fixtures to add a contemporary edge. The warm tones of brass also pair well with wood, and neutral color palettes, making it a perfect match for modern & contemporary interiors.

Lacquered brass light fixtures are easy to maintain. Simply dust them regularly with a soft cloth to keep them clean. For more thorough cleaning, a mild soap and water solution will do the trick. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as these can damage the protective lacquer. If you have unlacquered brass, you’ll need to polish it occasionally to remove tarnish.

Brass is a popular choice for lighting fixtures because of its durability, timeless appeal, and versatility. It offers a warm, elegant look that works well with both traditional and modern decor styles. Brass is also resistant to corrosion, especially when lacquered, making it a long-lasting option for indoor lighting. Its natural aging process can add character to your space, or you can opt for a lacquered finish to keep it shiny and new-looking.

For easier upkeep, lacquered brass is the better choice. It has a protective coating that helps prevent tarnishing and aging, so you won’t need to worry about polishing or maintaining the fixture as much.
