I've been thinking about making a wall mounted tool cabinet, and these will work perfectly. They are the first pair of Brussos I've held, and they are magnificent. They make the no-mortise type I've been using look like garbage. The leaves are thick, the countersinks crisp, and the action is wonderful. Machined from solid brass, they swing freely without slop. All they require is a quick buffing before installation.
These were discounted because of being old stock. They bear the names of Larry and Faye Brusso, who started the company and sold it sometime pre-2003. These hinges from the new Brusso company sell for $43.50 a pair. I purchased $87 worth of hardware for $35. Insert gloaty emoticon here.

Interesting. Never considered hinges as "cabinet jewelry" but as your nice photography shows, they are very well done.
ReplyDeleteAwww im happy to hear you purchased a beautiful set of brass hinges, the best quality for a perfect price. I worked at larry and faye brussos back in 1994 to 2000. He took pride in those brass hinges he designed and made. Im so happy to see others still enjoying them till this day.
