ANTIQUE BRASS DOOR HANDLES

Our antique brass door handles are meticulously crafted from solid brass, undergoing a specialized mechanical brushing process to create a finely textured surface. This is then coated with our exclusive lacquer formula, producing a rich, vintage-inspired appearance. The deep brown tones, combined with subtle light and shadow variations, give each handle an artisanal charm—akin to a timeless piece of art.

Beyond the classic antique brass finish, Xth Avenue has also developed an exclusive Ochre Antique Brass option. This aged-style finish features a highly saturated patina with unique, irregular markings created through a specialized chemical treatment. Each piece boasts an entirely distinct character, ensuring that no two handles are ever exactly alike.

Unlike many "live brass" finishes that naturally patinate over time, our antique brass door handles maintain the same appearance as when first purchased, requiring minimal maintenance. This finish is highly durable and resistant to aging, allowing you to preserve its timeless beauty with nothing more than an occasional wipe with a soft damp cloth. The solid brass construction ensures not only long-term reliability but also a smooth, effortless operation.

Whether you opt for classic antique brass or the unique ochre antique brass, each handle is expertly crafted to meet the highest quality standards. These handles are the perfect finishing touch for cottages, countryside retreats, and traditional estates, adding an authentic historical charm.

For a fully cohesive look, consider purchasing our mortise lock set, ensuring perfect hardware coordination without the hassle of mismatched finishes.

FAQs

What are antique brass door handles?

Antique brass door handles are solid brass handles that have been specially treated to create a vintage, aged appearance. The finish often features a deep oxidized effect or brushed texture, mimicking the natural aging of brass. These handles are ideal for classic, vintage, and luxury interior styles.

Are your antique brass door handles made of solid brass or brass-plated?

Our antique brass door handles are crafted from solid brass, ensuring exceptional durability, a natural patina, and an elegant aged look. Unlike brass-plated alternatives, solid brass handles are more resistant to wear, will not peel, and maintain their authentic finish for years.

What interior styles are antique brass door handles suitable for?

Antique brass door handles complement a variety of classic and vintage interior styles, including:

Victorian Style– Characterized by intricate detailing and elegant curves.
Industrial Style– Pairs well with dark wood doors and black hardware, enhancing the rustic charm.
Rustic Style– Perfect for solid wood doors, blending seamlessly with natural wood tones.
Neo-Classical Style– A sophisticated mix of modern and vintage elements, adding a touch of understated luxury.

Will antique brass door handles change color over time?

Naturally, solid brass develops a patina over time, darkening and enhancing its vintage character. However, Xth Avenue's antique brass door handles are coated with a protective lacquer, which prevents oxidation from air and moisture. This ensures that the handles maintain their original finish for years without darkening or changing color.

Are your antique brass door handles compatible with standard door locks?

Yes, our antique brass door handles are compatible with standard locks, including passage, privacy, and bathroom locks. The Centre Distance specification on the product page should be checked to ensure compatibility. Currently, we offer one lock configuration: Mortise Lock (Key & Thumbturn). Additional lock types are in development and will be available soon.

What different finish options do you offer for antique brass door handles?

We provide two distinct antique brass finish options:

Antique Brass – A classic deep brown-toned finish, perfect for traditional and vintage interiors.
Ochre Antique Brass – A custom-blended ochre-toned finish, offering a warmer, golden-brown patina that adds depth and richness to the hardware. This unique shade enhances both vintage aesthetics and contemporary spaces with a timeless appeal.
