Pewter cabinet hardware

Pewter was traditionally created in two ways: by casting or hammering.

Pewter is a strong, shiny, beautiful metal that darkens as it oxidizes. Oxidation results in variations in shadings that create a three-dimensional effect of depth. While many consumers like to keep their pewter shiny, others prefer the antique, rustic effect oxidation gives. Chemical solvents are available to darken new pewter for those who don’t want to wait for natural oxidation to occur.

Pewter was traditionally created in two ways: by casting or hammering. It is very malleable, which allows craftsman to work detailed, intricate designs into its surface. It is ideal for making ornate, decorative hardware. It is a composite material, generally containing tin, antimony, and copper. In the past, pewter contained lead, but when the harmful effects of lead became known, it was removed from the mixture. Today pewter is lead free. Pewter cabinet hardware is in high demand mainly because of its beauty. It appeals especially to those who seek the antique look.
