Arts & Crafts was an international design movement that flourished between 1860 and 1910, especially in the second half of that period, continuing its influence until the 1930s. The distinctive window-pane pattern, originally known as Bastile, was designed by Pacific Hardware of Los Angeles around 1912. Hand-hammered look designs in brass look best with a mellow, aged patina of our new aged brass finish or the rich soft tones of our Venetian bronze.
I ordered oil rubbed bronze and was surprised to find the finish was accomplished using paint. Was not what I expected. I will be removing some amount of paint to get the patina I hoped for. Otherwise- good.. Anonymous. Mon Nov 25 2024
