Solid brass hardware pieces

100% Solid Brass

At Bob's Brassware, we proudly hand-cast every single piece in small, carefully managed batches, utilizing only solid brass. This means you'll never find plated, hollow, or inferior metals in our collection. We believe in authenticity from the ground up.

Unlike plated hardware, which can chip, flake, and expose dull metal underneath, solid brass is guaranteed to endure and improve with age.

What is brass made of?

Brass is an alloy, primarily composed of copper and zinc, often with small amounts of other elements to enhance specific properties. This unique combination gives brass its distinctive golden luster, excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and workability – making it the perfect metal for hardware designed to last for generations.
