Materials
To properly maintain unlacquered brass, you will need a collection of soft microfiber cloths, mild pH-neutral dish soap, and warm water for routine cleaning. For those who prefer a bright finish over a natural patina, a specialized brass polish or a homemade paste of lemon and baking soda is essential, while a high-quality carnauba or Renaissance wax can be used to provide a protective moisture barrier. It is critical to avoid abrasive tools like steel wool or scouring pads, as well as aggressive chemical cleaners, ammonia, or bleach, which can permanently damage or unnaturally streak the metal.
Care
The most vital aspect of caring for unlacquered brass is keeping it dry by wiping away water droplets after every use to prevent spotting and mineral buildup. For general cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp, soapy cloth, followed by a fresh water rinse and immediate hand-drying with a soft towel. Because this is a "living finish," you must decide whether to let it naturally oxidize into a dark, matte patina or to periodically restore its original glow using a polish; regardless of your aesthetic preference, applying a thin layer of wax twice a year will help the hardware shed water and maintain a more even appearance over time.

FAQs
What material is this faucet made of?
Our faucets are crafted from high-quality, lead-free solid brass. Unlike plated fixtures, this is a solid metal construction that offers superior durability, weight, and a lifetime of use without the risk of peeling or rusting.
What is a "living finish"?
Unlacquered brass is a "living finish," meaning it has no protective lacquer or chemical coating. It is designed to react with its environment, naturally darkening and maturing over time to develop a unique, organic patina that gives it an antique, soulful character.
How long does it take for the patina to develop?
The aging process begins almost immediately upon exposure to air and water. You will notice the first subtle changes within 1–2 weeks, with a rich, deep antique tone typically established within 3–6 months depending on local humidity and frequency of use.
Can I restore the original shiny gold look?
Yes. If you prefer the bright, polished look over the aged patina, you can use a high-quality brass cleaner (such as Wright’s Brass Cream or Brasso) to remove the oxidation. Polishing will return the faucet to its original luster, and the aging process will begin again.
Is brass hygienic for kitchen and bathroom use?
Absolutely. Brass is a copper alloy and possesses natural antimicrobial properties. It is scientifically proven to kill a high percentage of bacteria and viruses on its surface within a few hours, making it an excellent choice for high-touch areas.
Will acidic liquids like lemon or vinegar damage the finish?
Acids will not damage the metal, but they will "strip" the patina. If lemon juice or vinegar splashes on a darkened faucet, it will leave a bright, shiny spot. You don’t need to do anything; these spots will naturally re-oxidize and blend back into the rest of the finish over time.
What parts are included in the box?
Each faucet comes ready for installation. The package includes the solid brass faucet body, flexible braided stainless steel water supply lines (Hot & Cold), all necessary mounting hardware, and an installation guide.
Are these faucets compatible with standard plumbing?
Yes. Our faucets are designed with standard 1/2" or 3/8" connections (depending on the specific model) to ensure they are compatible with standard US and international plumbing systems.
What does the warranty cover?
We provide a limited lifetime warranty covering all mechanical components, including the ceramic disc cartridges and leak-free performance. Please note that the "living finish" (the changing color and patina) is a natural characteristic of the material and is not covered as a defect.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return window from the date of delivery. To be eligible for a full refund, the item must be in its original, uninstalled condition and packaging. Because unlacquered brass begins to patina as soon as it is handled or installed, we cannot accept returns on items that show signs of use or oxidation.
