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.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Formed entirely by hand.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Brass, copper	Stainless steel, brass

Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	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.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
