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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

Worth knowing	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after it	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
