I hate to break it to you Stephen, but brass and gold fixtures and door hardware are back.
I know we're a little off topic here, but gold did try to make a comeback in 2016, but it's been short lived, I believe, and from the homes I've done here in LA, I'm not seeing gold or bright brass (and not recommending it) on anyone's homes that hasn't survived from the 80's...LOL. I do like a nice patina on old brass...and I grew up on boats, so I've been surrounded by brass my whole life...I know everything comes back around, but the gold trend was pretty awful..even in the 80's.. Just my opinions, though, and everyone is entitled to their tastes and styles!
.
Truthfully, it's usually the cheap plated garbage that floods the market after a trend picks up that destroys the trend pretty fast...so it's probably my feelings toward the shiny trash that affected me so much..ha! Then again, this is what I do everyday, so I think I get charged up about it..
Anyway, back to the arches! Since they were available, I'm okay with them, even though they're not my cup of tea...
