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. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. | Formed entirely by hand. | 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 knowing | A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights. | A living finish. | 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. | Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors. |
| Looking after it | Dust only, or a barely damp cloth. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed. |
