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 looksA non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.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.A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.

Worth knowingHard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.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.No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after itWipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
