How it looksSofter and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.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.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.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.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
