It always gets tarnished.

Has anyone bought a nice fancy brass door handle that does not tarnish?
If so, what kind is it?

Many thanks.

Brass tarnishes. The reason you see shiny brass handles on doors is
because someone maintains them.

Maintaining polished brass outside is a continuous maintenance job. You
will periodically need to strip the clear coat and polish the brass with
rouge and a wheel and then give it a clear coat.
