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	A fine unidirectional grain.	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.	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.

Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	A living finish.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Nothing abrasive, ever.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
