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 looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.	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 pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.	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.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
