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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

How it looksFormed 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.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.

Worth knowingNo 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.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.A living finish.
Looking after itAs for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Nothing abrasive, ever.
