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 looksSurfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

Worth knowingDeep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.A living finish.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after itDust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Nothing abrasive, ever.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
