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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

	Cast & relief	Special texture	Ombre	Hand-beaten
Family	Cast	Textured	Coated	Textured
How it looks	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	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.	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.	Formed entirely by hand.
Metals	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	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.	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.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
