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.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	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.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
