Our brass hardware is not lacquered, which allows them to gain a natural patina over time. It is part of an intentional look where natural materials are allowed to age with poise inspired by the authentic Wabi-Sabi philosophy. Humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens can accelerate the ageing process of the hardware.

If you wish to polish the polished brass handles, we suggest an acknowledged brass or metal polish, which can be purchased in most general hardware stores. Make sure to use a soft non-abrasive cloth when applying the polish to the handlebars and bearings.
