Its absolute simplicity allows the natural weight and luster of solid brass to take center stage, making it a powerful statement of enduring beauty.

Care and Maintenance

Daily Care

Routine Cleaning: Dust frequently with a clean, soft, lint-free dry cloth.
Spills: Wipe spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Avoid Abrasives: To protect the integrity of the finish, do not use chemical cleaners, abrasive sponges, harsh materials, or furniture polishes.

Finish-Specific Care

Unlacquered Brass (Living Finish): This finish is designed to age. Embrace the natural oxidation and patina that develops over time. To maintain the patina, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If you prefer to restore the original luster, a gentle brass cleaner may be used.
Polished Nickel: Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid all harsh chemicals to protect the integrity of the plating.

Installation & Long-term Care

Atelier Tip: Because Unlacquered Brass is sensitive to natural skin oils, we recommend using clean hands or soft cotton gloves during installation to ensure an even start to the patination journey.
Maintenance: Hardware may loosen with heavy use. Periodically check all connections and tighten with a manual screwdriver if necessary.
