An exploration into darker nickel tones, the Graphite Nickel Finish by Baldwin Hardware is an innovative, new-to-market finish meant to last a lifetime. Spanning Baldwin’s Estate Portfolio, Graphite Nickel takes historical cues from the antique nickels and pewters in the traditional space, and expands to a broader mix of transitional and contemporary appeal. The new finish provides a unique fusion of warmth while picking up cool tones.

Graphite Nickel joins Baldwin’s distinguished portfolio of Lifetime PVD finishes, offering durability, corrosion resistance, and color retention superior to other finishes. The Graphite Nickel finish – like all Baldwin’s PVD finishes – combines superior quality and convenient availability with no additional cost, MOQ, or extended lead time. Graphite Nickel will be included in Baldwin's Quick Ship Program, which promises that products are shipped within five days of purchase.

Baldwin’s close work with customers and partners showed the surging trend of traditional satin black finish begin to wane. The new Graphite Nickel finish adds a touch of innovative glamor to the standard Satin Black. Rich with gunmetal tones, Graphite Nickel is a fusion metal finish — effortlessly adding a unique edge to classic traditional pieces and providing a smooth look for contemporary designs. Design partners are gravitating to this invigorating finish, and Graphite Nickel is leading an upward trend. The Baldwin Hardware Estate™ Portfolio, complete with a new Graphite Nickel Finish, is available through high-end showrooms and lumber yard partners.
