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 | 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. | Formed entirely by hand. | Fully reflective. | Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished. |
| Metals | Stainless steel, brass, aluminium | Brass, copper | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Brass, bronze, aluminium |

| Worth knowing | 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. | 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. | Shows 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. |
| Looking after it | Wipe with a soft damp cloth. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | A 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. |
