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. | 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. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step. |
| Metals | Brass, copper | Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel | Brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass, aluminium |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors | Indoors |
| 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. | Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints. |
| Looking after it | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Wipe with a soft damp cloth. |
