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. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. | 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. |
| Metals | Brass, bronze, aluminium | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors |
| Worth knowing | A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling. | A living finish. | Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors. |
| Looking after it | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed. |
