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.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.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.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.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.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
