Oil rubbed bronze is a finish that is chemically darkened to simulate aged bronze. It ranges in color from handsome charcoal black to rich chocolate brown, depending on the manufacturer. Oil rubbed bronze is popular because it provides a dramatic contrast to light hardwood doors and furniture as well as brilliant white fixtures such as sinks and clawfoot tubs. Oil rubbed bronze is a low maintenance finish that can be cleaned with soap and water when necessary.
