Each Samuel Heath product starts its life as a solid piece of the purest European brass, precision machined using CNC technology to enable the precise manufacture of intricate designs. Once machined, they are hand-polished by skilled craftsmen in order to achieve a perfectly smooth finish for flawless plating.
