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	Surfaces 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.	Formed entirely by hand.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.

Worth knowing	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.
