Unlacquered brass hardware, from the workshop.

Unlacquered brass ships bright and then starts living. No clear-coat, no sealant — just solid brass that darkens and warms wherever hands touch it. A kitchen full of it looks better at year five than on day one, which is why the finish has moved from heritage restorations to the center of contemporary kitchen and furniture design.

It is also the least forgiving finish to make. Lacquer hides tool marks and casting flaws; raw brass hides nothing. The polishing, graining, and edge work have to be right before the piece leaves the bench — which is exactly the kind of hand-finishing a Moradabad workshop exists to do.

Cabinet knobs & drawer pulls: turned, cast, and hand-shaped profiles — rounds, T-bars, edge pulls, ring pulls. Standard and custom back-mounting.

Handles & appliance pulls: bar handles and appliance-scale pulls, solid brass throughout, machined to your center-to-center spec.

Wall & coat hooks: single hooks, rail systems, and sculptural forms — one of our deepest catalog categories.

Furniture & specialty hardware: campaign hardware, sash lifts, shell pulls, and casting work from your drawing.

Finishes: raw unlacquered (mill or polished), satin, antiqued, aged patina — plus lacquered versions of any piece if a program calls for both.

MOQ: 200 units per SKU on catalog designs. Custom tooling typically 200–500 units depending on the piece.

Samples: about 10 working days, DHL worldwide. Finish-matched samples from your reference photo or physical sample.

Production: 45–70 days for standard runs; 90 days for container-scale programs. FOB Nhava Sheva.

Material: solid brass — sand-cast or machined from stock, never plated zinc. Alloy and weight specs stated per SKU.

Customization: dimensions, center-to-center spacing, finish, engraving, and branded packaging. Retail-ready boxed sets available.

Hands & Craft is a workshop, not a trading house — fifty artisans on our floor in Moradabad, with hand-hammering, lost-wax casting, spinning, engraving, and patina finishing in-house. The workshop runs on 100% solar. Compliance reports on request; MOQs, lead times, and payment terms published openly. Two-hour response during Indian working hours.

If you're building a hardware line, renovating a hospitality property, or adding brass hardware to an existing brand, request trade access and we'll send a hardware linesheet within 24 hours.
