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.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Formed entirely by hand.	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 knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	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 living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
