Compare finishes side by side

Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.

How it looksChemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.

Worth knowingA living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.A living finish.
Looking after itDust only, or a barely damp cloth.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Nothing abrasive, ever.
