HOW DID BRASSWORKS FINE HOME DETAILS GET STARTED?
Brassworks started as a two-person antique restoration company in the mid-1970’s. A good
deal of the items that were brought in for restoration were in such poor condition that
they needed to be replaced. Rather than send people away empty handed, the founder,
Anthony Baglini, decided he should try to sell these items. The two most common types of
items were door hardware and fireplace equipment. Our Charles Street showroom opened
in Providence in 1980.
WHAT IS BRASSWORKS’ MISSION?
Our mission is to supply our clients with a curated offering of the finest hardware and
fireplace products the industry has to offer while providing exemplary project management
and customer service.
