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.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.

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.A living finish.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after itDust only, or a barely damp cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Nothing abrasive, ever.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
