The New England Collection of stair rods is fabricated using superior brass alloys, NOT recycled brass, designed to accept intense machine polishing. This high luster is preserved with a coating of lacquer which impedes tarnishing. Stair rod tubing is fully hard-tempered, which makes it stronger than solid rod. This is NOT simulated brass or a brass plated product.

The category is broken-up by finish, Traditional finishes toward Group 1 and more contemporary finishes toward Group 3. Each Group contains several styles and finishes from which to choose.
