Doyen Polished Brass
DOYEN is a prominent handle with an elegantly slanted curve. This larger handle is beautiful as a statement piece on tall cabinet doors complementing smaller handles or knobs in a kitchen, and amazing when paired or repeated on wardrobe doors. Thanks to its size and stable character, Doyen is a suitable handle for built-in refrigerators/freezers. The matte finish has a natural looking aged appearance in a deep burnished tone.
Living Finishes
All our finishes are living finishes. Uncoated by design, they are meant to evolve over time through touch, everyday use and exposure to the environment. Changes in tone, patina, and surface are natural and intentional, allowing each piece to develop a character unique to the space it inhabits. Patina is not a defect, but an intentional part of the design. Like time-worn jewelry, our hardware records the passage of time and use. The pace and character of this transformation depends entirely on handling and the surrounding environment, with no fixed timeline.
Polished Brass begins bright and reflective and gradually deepens to a warmer, darker tone over time. With continued use, the surface becomes less glossy and more matte, creating a naturally lived-in patina.
Care:
If the surface becomes wet or oily, dry immediately with a soft cloth. Do not use detergents, as this may change the finish’s character. If a brighter finish is desired, polished brass can be repolished using a suitable metal polish to restore its sheen and tone.
