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.

Family	Patinated	Polished	Cast	Polished
How it looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A fine unidirectional grain.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	Brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
