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 looksDeep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.Formed entirely by hand.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.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.

Worth knowingA pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.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.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after itA soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
