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 | Brass, gold, champagne, rose gold, copper, bronze, gun metal, black nickel and antique brass tones, plus oxidised and custom colour coatings — the way to put a warm metal’s colour on stainless steel. | Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. |
| Metals | Stainless steel | Brass, bronze, aluminium | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc |

| Worth knowing | A scratch through a PVD or coated surface is through the colour, and it cannot be touched up invisibly — the panel is refinished or replaced. | A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling. | A living finish. |
| Looking after it | Mild soap and water, soft cloth, nothing abrasive and no strong cleaners — the colour is a thin layer and is kept by not attacking it. | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. | Nothing abrasive, ever. |
