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.	Formed entirely by hand.	Fully reflective.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium

Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	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.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
