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	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	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.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	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.
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.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	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.
