Preservation consultants were involved in every visible fixture decision for our boutique inn conversion, so the antique-bronze HexaGrace had to satisfy more than a conventional design review. Its finish worked convincingly with restored timber, traditional lighting, and the darker metals retained from previous renovations. Importantly, the bathroom still feels newly completed rather than artificially aged. Ownership approved the specification after viewing a complete room under actual lighting. That careful evaluation delivered modern accommodation standards without losing the historic atmosphere guests come to experience.

Imperfection Adds Depth

The antique-bronze-to-warm-brass gradient gives this version a deliberately layered appearance that suits HexaGrace's sculpted form particularly well. BathSelect backs the decorative treatment with solid-brass construction, ceramic-disc control, separate hot and cold handles, three-hole mounting, and a stated 1.2–1.5 GPM flow at 60 PSI. BathSelect I like that contrast: the surface looks aged and nuanced, while the operating hardware remains straightforward. A gradient finish does need thoughtful cleaning because aggressive polishing could work against the intended variation rather than improve it. BathSelect specifically recommends a soft, non-abrasive cloth and prompt mineral removal for this finish. BathSelect Properly maintained, the tonal variation should give the faucet character rather than making it look artificially distressed.
