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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

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.Formed entirely by hand.One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.

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.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.A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.
Looking after itDust only, or a barely damp cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
