Guild Cup Pull, 128mm — with Chased Tudor Rose
Description
The Birmingham Guild's hammered cup, with the rose as its mark.
A curved cup pull in solid brass with chamfered octagonal end caps that echo the geometry of the Guild Octagonal Knob. The cup face is hand-hammered all over with the planished marks of a Birmingham workshop; a smooth circular cartouche at its centre carries the chased five-petal Tudor rose — the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft's own hallmark, recovered.
Sand-cast in solid English brass. Cup face planished by hand. Rose chased into the centre cartouche, recessed not raised, struck from a single hand-carved master pattern shared across the Guild line. Finished by a single craftsperson, start to stamp.

Finish notes
Polished Unlacquered Brass develops a soft amber patina over years; the hammering and the rose recess gather the patina in interesting ways. Aged Brass arrives pre-darkened. Satin Brass is brushed and lacquered for a stable warm gold.
Care & Maintenance
Solid brass is a living material. How to care for each finish depends on which one you have chosen.
Polished Unlacquered Brass — wipe with a dry cotton cloth. That is the entire routine. Avoid Brasso, Bar Keepers Friend, ammonia, bleach, vinegar; all will strip the patina. The metal will darken over months and brighten where touched. This is the point.
Aged Brass — wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Re-wax once every two to three years with natural beeswax.
Satin Brass (lacquered) — wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Avoid solvents and abrasives.
