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	Polished	Textured	Textured	Patinated
How it looks	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Formed entirely by hand.	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.	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.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Hard 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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	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.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
