Todd Craig's Butler's pantry wall

This is a very creative use of decorative upholstery brass tacks. Not
your typical antique or leather upholstery application. The decorative nail
heads
are actually installed in the grout of the tile work. I have seen
decorative nail heads installed like this before. This application they
were selective and really spaced out the upholstery nails.

Deborah Kohler's Cornice of Wall

Decorative upholstery nails used to trim the top and bottom of
a cornice board. This crafty customer used a large scale
furniture upholstery tack. The decorative nail heads were
spaced to end up looking like rivets or the end of bolts.

Purses by Elisa Later

Nickel finished decorative nail heads used in ladies fashion
hand bags.  In this project the customer used three different
sized upholstery nails to trim hand bags giving them a stud
finished look.

Do You Sell Antique Nails Made Of Brass?

Last Updated on Wednesday, 24 February 2010 16:18 Written by Administrator Wednesday, 17 September 2008 10:15

Do You Sell Antique Nails Made of Brass?

No.   All of our decorative upholstery tacks are made of solid steel.  Brass is too soft of a metal and would bend or break if you hit it with a hammer.  The furniture nails we sell that look like brass are actually electro-plated, giving the upholstery nails their different finishes, including brass, nickel, copper, and other plated metallic finishes. After the decorative upholstery tacks are plated, the specialty effect and a sealer coat is applied to give the desired tarnish or antique effect. If you have any questions about Decorative upholstery tacks or any other upholstery supplies feel fee to call our upholstery supply department @ 1-866-528-4170.
   

Do Your Decorative Nail Heads Come In Other Finishes?

Do Your Decorative Nail Heads Come in Other Finishes?

Each of our decorative nail heads comes in several different finishes, usually 4 or 5 different ones.  We stock exactly what is shown in our upholstery tacks photos.  While there are dozens of finishes available from our supplier, no one upholstery nail head comes in every finish.  The more popular the upholstery tack, the more likely the nail head will come in more finishes.

The most common finishes for antique nails are French Natural, Bronze Renaissance, Nickel Plated, Brass Plated, Oxford, Natural, Copper Plated, and Old Brass.   Decorative upholstery nails can also come in Old Silver, Old Gold, Dull Black, Pearl Gray, Shiny Black, Old Copper, Pewter, Nickel Oxford, and Old Silver.  Several brass tacks are also available in primary colors, ie., red, brown, white, black. Other decorative upholstery nail head tacks are available in finishes that are special order.
