History of Brassworks

Brassworks was established in 1975 to provide high quality brass and copper restoration. In the past 32 years we have grown into Maryland's #1 source for polishing, lacquering and repairs. Operated contuously by its founder, Brassworks also offers a large selection of distinct and exceptional gifts and furnishings. Check our products page for more information.

We are located in Baltimore's waterfront community of Fell's Point, a historic area that was founded in 1730 by William Fell, a Quaker shipbuilder from Lancaster, England. The area quickly grew and by 1800, 16 shipyards were operating on the Fell's Point waterfront. The physical features and architecture remain almost the same as they were centuries ago, yet Fell's Point today, has something for everyone. Among the tugboats, taverns, inns and restaurants are some of the nicest and most unique shops to be found anywhere.

Brassworks, at 1641 Thames St, is in an early 19th century building with storefront, which contains our retail shop and attached carriage house where all restoration takes place.
