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.Formed entirely by hand.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.

Worth knowingA living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.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.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after itDust only, or a barely damp cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
