Brass is a timeless material known for its warm golden hue and natural elegance. Used across classic and contemporary designs, it adds character and depth.
As a living metal, it will develop a patina over time unless protected.
Many Louis Poulsen lamps are crafted from untreated or lacquered brass, carefully chosen for its enduring beauty.
Aged brass
Our aged brass is lacquered to preserve its look and prevent natural patination. Simply wipe it gently with a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Avoid polishing or harsh cleaners.
Brushed or polished brass that is unlacquered or untreated
These finishes develop a natural patina over time. To maintain the original shine, polish occasionally with a brass-specific polish and clean regularly with a soft microfibre cloth.
Lacquered and metallised brass
Protected by a lacquer coating, these finishes resist patination. Clean them gently with a damp microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive or chemical cleaners.
