Working primarily in brass and bronze, Grimes embraces the natural character of each metal—then deepens it through hand-finishing and patina, from lightly aged to richly blackened. Every piece is sand-cast and hand chased, a process that preserves subtle variation and texture rather than sanding it away.

Alongside the core collection, Grimes Foundry takes on bespoke work for period homes and restoration projects—studying original details and recreating forms so new pieces retain the proportion, nuance, and wear that give historic hardware its authority, while meeting the practical demands of contemporary use.
