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 looks	Chemically 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.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.

Worth knowing	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
