While the past decade was dominated by variations of bronze and nickel finishes, one timeless finish had made its way back with a classy new hue. A more modern brass finish has evolved from the polished brass of the 1970s and antique brass that was stylish in the 1980s and 1990s. This new incarnation of brass typically has a brushed look to it much like the ever popular brushed nickel finish. Manufacturers have a variety of names for this trendy new finish, but they all give a sophisticated edge to a timeless material. Bring on the brass!
