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 looksRaised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.Formed entirely by hand.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.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 knowingThe pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.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.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after itDust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
