Antique Fasteners

Antique is a term used to describe a finish which may appear on any metal item. Antique finish is most often applied to new products to make them appear aged and is a popular finish for door hardware, lamps, and light fixtures. Antique finish is preferred because many homeowners prefer antique brass to polished brass in their decor, especially if they are trying to avoid a modern look.

Antique finish is nowadays one of the most common finishes, which is in high demand by the up-market clients. Door fasteners made of different materials such as brass, steel and other materials are specifically manufactured to impart them a rustic antique finish. They bring an ethnic look to the home decor and are exported the world over.

Finishes on Antique fasteners

Brass is the most common material which is used to make fasteners and the natural finish of polished brass is shiny. On the other hand, an antique brass finish appears worn with time and is darker than natural brass. Antique finishing absorbs more light than it reflects and gives a beautiful look to the entire door. Fasteners can also be of other metals to have the look of antique brass. In fact, many newly manufactured fasteners with antique brass finishes are not made of solid brass. There are many specialty paints in the market that can be used to achieve a faux antique finish on nearly any metal fasteners.
