The History of the Antique Bronze Finish
The process of achieving the antique look on bronze fixtures, like stair rods, draws inspiration from ancient techniques. Artisans originally allowed bronze to age naturally to achieve a deep, rich patina indicative of antiquity. This aged appearance became coveted for its elegance and depth, signifying opulence.
By the 19th century, as the Victorian era brought a resurgence of classical styles, the demand for ‘antiqued’ metal finishes grew. Homeowners sought to capture the essence of heritage within their interiors. Craftsmen began to replicate the antique finish through oxidation processes, often using liver of sulphur to expedite the patination, giving new bronze pieces an old-world charm instantly.
Today, this design finish is synonymous with luxury and sophistication in home fittings. Antique bronze stair rods pay homage to the legacy of classic decor, providing a touch of historical elegance in modern-day homes.
