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 | Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished. | A fine unidirectional grain. | Fully reflective. | Formed entirely by hand. |
| Metals | Brass, bronze, aluminium | Stainless steel, brass, aluminium | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling. | A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. | 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. |
| Looking after it | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. | Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. |
