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 looksGreen, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.Formed entirely by hand.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

Worth knowingA living finish.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.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.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
