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.	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.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowing	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	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.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	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.
Looking after it	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
