A name you can hold.
The “& Son” in our name is not decoration. It is how the work has been handed down — and the standard every piece is still held to.
01
Begun in a trade where things had to hold
MOORE & SON (HOLYWELL) LIMITED was registered in Holywell in 2000. The family trade began in plumbing and fitting — work where a joint either holds or it floods, where there is no hiding a bad fixing. That habit of mind, of making the unseen part right, is the inheritance behind everything we now cast in brass.
02
Why solid brass, and nothing electronic
We make decorative architectural hardware — handles, knobs, hinges, stays, letter plates — in solid brass and honest alloy. Brass has weight, takes a finish, and ages into something better rather than peeling like plate. We deliberately make nothing electronic: no smart locks, no powered bells, nothing with a battery to die or firmware to update. Mechanical things, made well, simply keep working.
03
Cast, filed, polished, lacquered
Each piece is cast, then the sprues are cut and the edges worked back by hand. It is brought to an even lustre and sealed so it holds its shine through years of daily handling. The finishes — polished and aged brass, antique bronze, brushed nickel, matte black — are chosen to suit period and modern homes alike, and to be matched across a whole door or room.
04
Made to be handled
Our value is simple: Built to be handled, made to last. A handle is touched thousands of times a year. It should feel considered every single time. That is the test we set, and the reason we put the family name on the box.
