Narratives in Metal

Discover our three signature collections, each a distinct story of form, material, and craftsmanship.

Anatomy of Quality

Every Elysian piece is more than its form; it's a precisely engineered object. From the satisfying weight of solid brass to the silent, fluid motion of a meticulously tested mechanism, we obsess over the details you can't see, so you can feel the difference every time.

Design & Specifications

Solid brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, known for its durability and malleability. It develops a natural patina over time which can be polished back to a shine. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, making it slightly harder and more resistant to corrosion. Its patina is typically darker and richer. Both are considered premium, 'living' materials.

Consider your overall design palette. Polished finishes (like Polished Gold or Chrome) add a touch of glamour and reflect light, ideal for Deco or modern luxe styles. Satin and brushed finishes offer a softer, contemporary look. Aged and oil-rubbed finishes provide a timeless, classic feel that complements traditional and rustic interiors beautifully.

Many of our solid brass and bronze pieces are suitable for exterior use, as these materials are naturally corrosion-resistant. However, the finish will age and patina more rapidly when exposed to the elements. We recommend checking the specifications on each product page or contacting us for advice on the best options for your climate and application.

As many of our pieces are hand-finished to order, lead times can vary. In-stock items typically ship within 3-5 business days. For items with special finishes or for our bespoke services, lead times are generally between 4-8 weeks. We believe the wait is a small price for uncompromising quality and craftsmanship.

Yes, we offer a sample program for design professionals. We understand the importance of experiencing the weight, feel, and finish of our hardware firsthand. Please visit our 'Bespoke' page or contact our support team to learn more about ordering samples for your project.

Each lever handle or doorknob set comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, including screws, a spindle, and a set of instructions. Latches, locks, and other mechanisms are sold separately to allow for full customization based on your door's specific requirements (passage, privacy, or entry).

Signature Materials & Finishes

Aged Brass finish texture

Aged Brass

The heart of our Heritage Series. This unlacquered, hand-aged brass is a living finish, designed to develop a rich, deep patina over time. Each touch contributes to its unique story, creating a piece that becomes more beautiful with age and use. It offers timeless warmth and character.

Brushed Nickel finish texture

Brushed Nickel

A key finish for the Modernist Line. Softer and warmer than chrome, brushed nickel provides a sophisticated, contemporary look with a subtle texture. Its satin sheen is resistant to fingerprints and complements a wide range of color palettes, making it a versatile and elegant choice.

Polished Gold finish texture

Polished Gold

The defining finish of our Deco Revival collection. This brilliant, high-shine finish is achieved through meticulous polishing of solid brass. It creates a bold, glamorous statement, reflecting light and adding a touch of unapologetic luxury to any interior it graces.

The Finisher's Touch

Our finishes are not simply a surface coating; they are an integral part of the piece. Each handle is hand-polished, brushed, or aged by an artisan. This human touch imparts a depth and character that cannot be replicated by machine, ensuring every piece has a soul of its own.

A Note on Craftsmanship

Behind every clean line and perfect curve lies a deep-seated respect for the craft of metalworking. Our pieces are not simply manufactured; they are brought to life. We embrace a process where modern precision machinery prepares the raw material, but the final, crucial stages of finishing, polishing, and assembly are entrusted to the discerning eye and skilled hand of a master artisan. This deliberate fusion of technology and tradition is what imparts a soul to our hardware. It ensures that each piece is not only visually flawless but also possesses a tangible sense of quality—a reassuring weight and a satisfying feel that can only come from an object made with intent and care.
