Brass & Metal
Tarnish is just character waiting to be appreciated. Browse our hand-picked vintage brass and metal treasures — candlesticks that have lit a thousand dinners, bookends that held someone's favorite novels, trays that traveled from estate to estate before landing here. Equal parts patina and personality. New finds drop weekly.
Caring for vintage brass
Solid brass darkens with age, and many collectors prefer that warm patina to a mirror shine. If you'd rather polish, test a small hidden spot first, and skip polish on lacquered or plated pieces, where it can strip the finish. A magnet is a quick test: it won't stick to solid brass, but it will stick to brass-plated steel.
Each listing describes the finish and any wear.
