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.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.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.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.A living finish.
Looking after itDust only, or a barely damp cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.Nothing abrasive, ever.
