Whether you’re refreshing a single room or designing an entire home, Water Street Brass delivers hardware that blends beauty with lasting performance.
Water Street Brass blends artistry with American manufacturing. Founded by brothers Charles and Matthew Churchill, the brand grew from their family’s legacy of precision craftsmanship through Jamestown Furniture Hardware. In 2012, they launched a line of decorative brass hardware tailored for luxury residential spaces. Today, Water Street Brass creates heirloom-quality pieces that designers, architects, and discerning homeowners trust to bring timeless beauty and exceptional performance to every space.
Water Street Brass is part of Jamestown, NY’s rich metalsmithing heritage—once the “Furniture Capital of the World.” For generations, master artisans in Jamestown crafted decorative hardware for a booming furniture industry. While many manufacturers shifted offshore, the Churchill family remained committed to American craftsmanship. Jamestown Furniture Hardware became the foundation for Water Street Brass, ensuring this legacy of quality and artistry lives on in every handcrafted piece.
Water Street Brass is built on an unwavering commitment to excellence. Their talented team of designers and artisans meticulously crafts each piece, balancing thoughtful design with function. The brand’s evolving collection reflects a passion for innovation and enduring beauty. Whether you’re drawn to modern minimalism or ornate, traditional styles, Water Street Brass offers hardware that elevates interiors and brings distinctive character to any space—crafted to last for generations.
One of the hallmarks of Water Street Brass is its unparalleled finish palette. With 32 standard finishes and more than 300 specialty processes, their capabilities are unmatched. Each finish is handcrafted using techniques like plating, distressing, antiquing, burnishing, and waxing—allowing designers and homeowners to achieve truly bespoke results. Every order is finished per job, carefully inspected, and thoughtfully packaged, ensuring a level of consistency and beauty that defines luxury craftsmanship. And with a lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship, Water Street Brass stands behind every piece they create.
