Adorable animal families that will make you aww. Antique brass is a term used to describe a finish that may appear on any metal item, most often a decorative household item. Brass is actually an alloy, or combination, of metals. Solid brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc. The natural finish of polished brass is shiny.

For example, it is used for plumbing fixtures because it is easy to work with and easily tooled. Brass is not as hard as bronze. Brass is also prone to corrosion, so most plumbing fixtures are coated with another metal such as chrome to make it more durable. You will find that a brass bell does not sound as pure as a bronze bell. Brass bells have kind of a clangy or brassy sound to them.
