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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	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.	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.

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.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after it	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
