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. | 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. |
| Metals | Brass, copper | Brass, copper, stainless steel | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Brass, bronze, aluminium |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| 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 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 it | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. |
