Watch 'Antiques Roadshow' and see the disappointment on a once proud owners face, only to hear of the loss in value because the original antique drawer handles have been replaced with an inferior import.

When renovating property, contemporary brass finishings are as important as English Heritage paint colours and care should be taken to ensure that they are right. Anybody who has searched the worldwide web for 'brass' will quickly learn of the many Brass Bands we have in Britain ... and sadly, the lack of professional traditional craftsmen and forges, or brass foundries.
