In the pivotal year of 1996, J. Christopher Creighton embarked on a visionary path to establish Classic Brass, a pioneer in handcrafting traditional solid brass hardware in the United States, the first since 1946. This endeavor was not without legacy; his father, a seasoned veteran in the hardware trade, bequeathed to him a fervent appreciation for impeccable design and detail, underpinned by unparalleled customer service. Today, at Elegance in Hardware, our dedicated team excels in creating the finest, handcrafted solid brass hardware, continuing this heritage of American craftsmanship with pride and precision.

Our company ethos is founded on the bedrock of American artisanal excellence. We are propelled by an unwavering commitment to uphold our reputation as a leading American enterprise in every aspect of our operations. Our craftsmen are the heart of our brand, their meticulous attention to detail is evident in every item we produce, reflecting their passion in the luster and longevity of our products.

We recognize that the distribution of our products is integral to our success. Thus, Classic Brass is offered through a select group of premium dealers. These partners are not only ambassadors of quality but also custodians of exceptional customer service. Located strategically across the globe, our dealers are skilled in the technicalities of our hardware specifications.
