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. | Formed entirely by hand. | Fully reflective. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. |

| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | A 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. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. | Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face. |
| Looking after it | Dust only, or a barely damp cloth. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. |
