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 looksSofter and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.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.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
