Celebrating British Craftsmanship: Armac Martin at SDS London
For nearly a century, Armac Martin has been synonymous with British excellence in luxury brass hardware. Established in 1929 and proudly made in Birmingham, England, every piece is designed in-house, crafted from solid brass, and meticulously hand-finished to perfection.
What began as the venture of local brass founder Harold McGrail, who produced reproduction furniture fittings, has evolved into a fourth-generation family business and an award-winning name in the world of luxury interiors. Today, Armac Martin continues to uphold its founding principles — exceptional design, fine craftsmanship, and enduring quality.
Each product reflects a deep appreciation for timeless materials and thoughtful design. From classic cabinet handles to elegant shelf brackets and mirrors, Armac Martin’s collections are designed to balance form and function, enriching interiors in homes, hotels, and bespoke developments across the globe.




At the heart of the brand lies a commitment to British manufacturing. Every stage of production — from the initial design sketches to the final hand-finished detail — takes place in the Birmingham factory, ensuring the highest standards of quality and consistency. This dedication has earned the company recognition worldwide, including the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade (2022).
Brass, a material with roots tracing back to 1400 B.C., remains central to Armac Martin’s identity. Its versatility and beauty are celebrated through a portfolio of signature finishes, ranging from traditional aged brass and antique satin lacquered to contemporary matt black. Whether for classic or modern interiors, these finishes offer a perfect complement to any design scheme.
Innovation, craftsmanship, and responsibility define Armac Martin’s approach. The company embraces modern manufacturing techniques while maintaining the artistry of hand-finishing — ensuring every piece is made to last. Beyond design, Armac Martin champions sustainability through responsible production practices and an ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact.
With a dedicated team of over 100 skilled individuals, Armac Martin continues to craft collections that embody luxury, durability, and British heritage.
