brass handles

Golden-hued door pulls

Brass handles are gripping fixtures made of brass—a copper-zinc alloy prized for its durability and warm golden appearance.

They appear on doors, cabinets, drawers, and furniture, often chosen for aesthetic appeal or period authenticity: The antique dresser had its original brass handles.

Brass handles tarnish over time but can be polished to restore their shine.
