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.

How it looksRaised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.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.Formed entirely by hand.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.

Worth knowingThe pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.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.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.
Looking after itDust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
