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.

Family	Patinated	Polished	Polished	Textured
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.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowing	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	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.	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.
Looking after it	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	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.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
