Why brass ages so well

Lacquered or raw, brass changes with the room it lives in. Here is what to expect over the years.

By Lumora Studio

Solid brass is the one finish we never apologise for ageing.

Lacquered

Most Lumora lights are lacquered, so the colour holds for years with nothing more than a dry cloth.

Raw

Our raw brass pieces darken gently from touch and air. Each one ends up slightly different, which is the point.

Looking after it

Avoid polish on lacquered finishes. If you want to restore a raw piece, we will tell you how, or do it for you.
