Materials & Care

Authentic Solid Brass and Copper

Every Zayian piece is handcrafted from genuine copper or premium solid brass. We do not use lightweight plated metals or imitation finishes. Our materials are carefully selected for their strength, durability, natural beauty, and ability to develop character over time.

Because our products are handmade, slight variations in texture, hammering, color, and finish are natural. These differences are not defects—they make every piece unique.

Unlacquered Brass

Our unlacquered brass products are made from solid brass without a protective lacquer coating. They normally arrive with a bright, polished appearance and gradually develop a natural patina through exposure to air, moisture, oils, and everyday use.

The finish may become warmer, darker, or more aged over time. This natural transformation is known as a living finish and is part of the authentic character of unlacquered brass.

Customers who prefer the original shiny appearance can regularly polish the brass. Those who appreciate an aged, vintage look can allow the patina to develop naturally.

Copper

Our copper pieces are made from genuine copper and may be offered in polished, hammered, aged, oxidized, or custom patina finishes.

Like unlacquered brass, copper is a living material. Its color may naturally deepen or change over time depending on humidity, handling, water exposure, and the surrounding environment. These variations add warmth and individuality to each handcrafted product.

Daily Cleaning

For regular care:

• Clean the surface with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap.
• Rinse away any soap residue with clean water.
• Dry the item immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Wipe away water spots regularly, especially in hard-water areas.
• Use a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the finish.

Maintaining a Shiny Finish

To preserve or restore a bright polished appearance:

• Use a brass or copper polish suitable for unlacquered metal.
• Apply a small amount using a soft cloth.
• Always test the product on a small, discreet area first.
• Polish gently and follow the product manufacturer’s instructions.
• Remove all remaining polish and buff the surface with a clean cloth.

Frequent polishing is optional. It should only be done when you wish to reduce or remove the natural patina.

Preserving the Natural Patina

To maintain the naturally aged appearance:

• Avoid metal polish and abrasive cleaning products.
• Clean gently using mild soap and water.
• Dry the surface after cleaning.
• Allow the finish to continue changing naturally.
• Avoid excessive rubbing, as this may create brighter areas.

Products to Avoid

Do not use:

• Bleach or chlorine-based cleaners
• Strong chemical cleaning sprays
• Abrasive powders or scouring pads
• Steel wool or hard brushes
• Oven cleaners or aggressive degreasers
• Highly acidic products unless specifically intended for brass or copper

Harsh products may stain, scratch, discolor, or permanently alter the metal finish.

Important Care Notes

Water quality, humidity, fingerprints, cleaning habits, and environmental conditions can affect how quickly brass and copper develop patina. Areas that are frequently touched may change color faster than less-used sections.

For faucets, sinks, showers, and bathroom accessories, drying the surface after use will help reduce mineral deposits and water marks. A soft cloth should be used around engraved, hammered, or detailed areas.

Natural patina, surface variation, and gradual color changes are expected characteristics of genuine unlacquered brass and copper. They are not considered manufacturing defects.
