With a warm undertone that closely resembles a sparkling glass of champagne, Natural Bronze evokes a timeless yet modern feel. Lighter and with cooler tones than traditional gold and brass finishes, Natural Bronze offers a fresh take on today’s trending gold finishes. An effortlessly versatile finish that will develop a rich patina over time, Natural Bronze is available for all door hardware, cabinet hardware, and accessories in Ashley Norton’s Solid Bronze Collection. “The new Natural Bronze patina, combined with the beautiful texture of our handmade bronze hardware, adds a sense of depth and elegance to the finished product. The result is a luxurious yet classic look that easily fits into any space,” states Ashish Karnani, Vice President of Ashley Norton. After each individual piece is sand cast from art-grade bronze, the Natural Bronze finish is hand-applied. The finish adds further distinction to the one-of-a-kind look of each Ashley Norton hardware element. And since Natural Bronze is a “living finish,” it will oxidize when exposed to elements and touch. Each element will develop its own special pattern of oxidation, giving each piece a unique character all its own. Natural Bronze is available for the entire Ashley Norton bronze collection. Other available finishes include White Bronze, Light Bronze, Dark Bronze, Matt Black, and White Medium. Available at leading kitchen and bath dealers throughout North America, Natural Bronze finishes range from $198 for passage sets to $548 for entrysets.
