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 looksFully reflective.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.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.

Where it suitsIndoorsIndoors and outdoorsIndoorsIndoors
Worth knowingShows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.No two panels are the same, which is the point.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after itA soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
