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 looksGreen, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Formed entirely by hand.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

Worth knowingA living finish.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.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.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
