Hello there, welcome to our shop :) IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ OUR RETURN POLICY AT THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER. Our hope when we opened this shop is for the people who loves brass' unique beauty to be able to access it at a more affordable price point. We don't think you will find a better price for a comparable product elsewhere as we focus on building long-term relationships with our customers, as well as spreading the love for brass all around. Please note that all of our unlacquered products are made-to-order to ensure the handles delivered to you are brand new, therefore shipping is slightly slower than for lacquered products. Other than that, happy shopping! ✨Material: Solid brass Unlacquered brass came out of the mold with a champagne gold colour as pictured. This colour will age day by day to a deep golden antique finish as it is used. Please do expect some minor marks on the handles as they start the aging process as soon as they come out of the mould. We offer two finishes for unlacquered brass, brushed and polished. Lacquered brass has a clear lacquered layer on top that prevents it from aging. It is important to note that no lacquer can last indefinitely. It will eventually wear off albeit at a much slower rate than unlacquered brass. We only offer brushed lacquered brass. Our preferred finish is unlacquered brass, however it is entirely up to your preference. If you are unsure, feel free to send us a message. Or read more about the differences between these two finishes at our website https://thebrassaddict.com/blogs/blog/lacquered-vs-unlacquered-brass R E T U R N S * * To avoid return costs, we recommend that you order a sample (a single item) to ensure the product meets your requirements. This is important because it can be difficult to show the exact colour and texture of an item on a screen. * Return can be accepted for lacquered brass products. However we cannot accept return for change of mind for unlacquered brass products. The reason is because unlacquered brass starts oxidising the moment it comes out of production and therefore once it is produced and shipped, it cannot be restored to its original saleable condition. * The buyer will be responsible for return shipping to us in Australia and there will be a 20% RESTOCKING FEE FOR ALL RETURNS. In addition, the original cost of shipping the item will not be refundable. If you received free shipping on an order the actual cost of shipping will be deducted from your refund. * Returns must be posted within 30 calendar days from the date of delivery. * If you have any questions about the return policy please feel free to contact us directly.
