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	Formed entirely by hand.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	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.

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.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after it	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
