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 looksA fine unidirectional grain.Formed entirely by hand.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

Worth knowingA 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.A living finish.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after itWipe 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.Nothing abrasive, ever.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
