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.

	Hand-beaten	Cast & relief	Mirror	Special texture
Family	Textured	Cast	Polished	Textured
How it looks	Formed entirely by hand.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Fully reflective.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.
Metals	Brass, copper	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel

Worth knowing	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 pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after it	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
