brass hinges

Golden metal joints

Brass hinges are hinges made from brass, a copper-zinc alloy valued for its corrosion resistance and warm golden appearance.

Common on cabinet doors, jewelry boxes, and decorative furniture, they're chosen when visible hardware should look attractive: The antique chest had ornate brass hinges.

They may be solid brass or brass-plated steel.
