Discover the Timeless Appeal of Unlacquered Brass

A Designer Favorite for Luxury Interiors

• Custom Fixtures
• Elevated Style

In the world of luxury interiors, it’s often the smallest details that make the boldest statements. At Designer Drains, we believe your shower drain cover should be no exception. That’s why we’re proud to offer select designs in unlacquered brass—a finish that’s as timeless as it is transformative.

🔍 What Is Unlacquered Brass?

Unlike polished or lacquered brass, unlacquered brass is left untreated, allowing it to develop a natural patina over time. This “living finish” evolves with its environment, responding to moisture, touch, and air exposure to create a rich, antique look that’s uniquely yours.

• No coating, no compromise: The raw brass surface is exposed, giving it a warm, golden tone that deepens with age.
• Patina with personality: From subtle darkening to dramatic aging, each piece tells its own story.
• Loved by designers: Its old-world charm and organic texture make it a favorite in high-end renovations and heritage homes.

🛁 Why Choose Unlacquered Brass for Your Bathroom?

Bathrooms are often sterile spaces—white tiles, chrome fixtures, clean lines. Unlacquered brass breaks that mold.

• Adds warmth to cool-toned spaces
• Pairs beautifully with marble, concrete, and natural wood
• Elevates everyday fixtures into design statements

Whether you’re going for a vintage vibe or a modern-meets-classic aesthetic, unlacquered brass offers unmatched versatility.

🧼 Care & Maintenance: Embrace the Imperfection

Unlacquered brass isn’t for everyone—and that’s part of its appeal. Unlacquered brass requires minimal upkeep if you love the patina, or occasional polishing if you prefer a brighter look.

• To restore shine: Use a soft cloth and brass cleaner like Brasso or Bar Keepers Friend
• To preserve patina: Simply let nature take its course

This finish rewards those who appreciate authenticity over perfection.
