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 | 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. | 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. |

| Worth knowing | 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. | 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. |
| Looking after it | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Dust only, or a barely damp cloth. | Wipe with a soft damp cloth. |
