Water Street Brass
Solid brass cabinet hardware, finished to order in Falconer, New York.
Water Street Brass casts in solid brass and finishes to order. There is no warehouse of pre-finished stock. Every pull, knob, and bar is hand-finished by its artisans in the finish you specify, for the project you specify it for. Banbury Lane carries the full line for architects, designers, and builders, with the most-requested finishes buyable online and the rest configured to order through the showroom.
The Foundry
A furniture-hardware house, from the Furniture Capital of the World.
Water Street traces to Jamestown, New York, on the shores of Chautauqua Lake, once the Furniture Capital of the World and the birthplace of the crescent wrench. The company was Jamestown Furniture Hardware before it was Water Street Brass. The discipline carried forward: furniture hardware first, built to the tolerances furniture demands.
The line is solid brass, cast and machined, then hand-finished in one of twenty-nine finishes. Tab pulls, appliance pulls, knobs, T-pulls, ring pulls, and cremone sets run across ten collections, traditional through contemporary. The bench will also build to a drawing, a turn on an existing pattern or a new form, presented as renderings and technical drawings before anything is cut.
Water Street publishes a separate part number for every finish and treatment combination. Banbury Lane does not. One product page carries the whole range, the finish, the size, and the treatment resolved to the exact item and price as you select. It is the same hardware, read the way a specifier reads it.

Materials and Finishes
Twenty-nine finishes, eight families, twelve of them living.
Finishing is the brand. The picker on every product page carries the full set, grouped by family, with the character and care of each finish written out. The line resolves into four working decisions.
Brass and bronze.
Fourteen finishes, Polished Brass through Oil Rubbed Bronze, Weathered Bronze, and Relieved Bronze. The core of the line, lacquered for stability or left No Lacquer to patina.
Nickel and chrome.
Seven finishes, Polished Nickel through Burnished Antique Nickel, with Polished Chrome. The tarnish-resistant end of the range, plated and stable.
Silver and copper.
Premium Polished, Antique, and Satin Silver, with Polished Copper. Real plate, waxed, and living. Silver darkens to a gray patina, copper to a green one.
Living and lacquered.
Twelve finishes are living, uncoated or waxed, and they patina by design. Polished Brass No Lacquer darkens to a warm brown within the first month. The rest are lacquered and hold their factory appearance under a one-year warranty. Each finish carries an aging factor, one to five, on the product page.
Cerakote is available on every finish except Burnished Brass, Polished Nickel, and Polished Chrome, at a flat thirty-percent upcharge. Custom finishes are quoted per project. Banbury Lane coordinates finish across the cabinet program and the rest of the hardware in one conversation.
Surface Treatments
Five treatments, selected on the page.
Five surface treatments run across the collections: Coin, Diamond, Rope, Argyle, and Smooth. The treatment is chosen on the same product page as the finish and the size, and resolves to the exact part number and price. Hammering is offered as an upcharge service on request.
Lead Times and Made-to-Order
Quick Ship and made-to-order.
A curated set of Water Street's most-specified finishes is held as Quick Ship, buyable online, with delivery to our Calgary location typically two weeks, then inspected and shipped to you.
