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.

	Vibration	Brushed & satin	Hand-beaten	Antique
Family	Polished	Polished	Textured	Patinated
How it looks	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Formed entirely by hand.	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.

Worth knowing	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	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 living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after it	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
