Facts & Inspo - Oxidies brass
Most of our brass products are polished but otherwise untreated. This means that the shiny surface will age naturally in contact with oxygen and moisture. Over time it will take on a deeper tone with a matte finish. If you want to speed up the oxidation, we recommend the egg method:
- Boil one or a couple of eggs depending on how big the object is that you want to oxidize, we chose two eggs for the candlestick above.
- Once they're hard-boiled, peel the eggs while they are still warm and cut them into pieces.
- Collect the eggs and objects in a plastic bag and seal it. Let the oxidation process work for a couple of hours and then check the result.
If you still want a darker tone, just repeat the process until you're satisfied!
