Aged Brass - Our aged brass products are made from solid unlacquered brass, offering an abundance of character and charm. This finish is perfectly suited to period dwellings and will create a statement throughout. Due to the accelerated ageing process this finish undergoes, a darker patina gathers around the edges and recesses to contrast beautifully with the re-polished surface areas.

Aged Bronze - This finish is manufactured from solid bronze containing a minimum of 85% copper. The finish has a rich, matt look and is very dark due to the process used to age the metal.

Black - Our black finish is a popular choice in traditional settings, it has a subtle sheen and offers a bold contrast on both stained and painted timber alike. It is baked in a high-temperature oven giving it durable corrosion resistant properties.

Pewter - Our pewter patina finish is forged from a durable base of steel and is a fine example of how our unique manufacturing techniques add further detail to the natural charm of metals. The process by which the contrasting textures of this finish are created results in a rich appearance that sits well in characterful, rustic homes but also offers a contemporary alterative in more modern settings.

Polished Brass - Made from solid unlacquered brass, this finish is both classic and simplistic and offers great possibilities for stately and period dwellings alike, particularly where a very traditional look is desired. When fully polished this finish has a depth of reflection. However, as the product is unlacquered this can also be left to age naturally, which over time will create a beautifully historic finish.

Polished Bronze - Manufactured from solid bronze containing a minimum of 85% copper, this finish can be described as a living finish that adapts to its surroundings. This finish is firstly aged and then re-polished, which creates a subtle contrast between the lighter surface areas and the darker detailed areas of each product. A perfect choice for both contemporary and traditional settings.

Polished Chrome - Our polished chrome products are made from a base metal of solid brass with a high quality chrome plating applied to the surface. A high sheen finish that is most commonly used in contemporary settings. This finish offers bright, bold and reflective qualities which work best if a clean, cool look is desired.

Polished Nickel - Our polished nickel finish is a high-quality plating applied to solid brass. This finish is bright, reflective and extremely versatile. It is very well suited to modern properties but equally matched to traditional settings due to the warm, calm tones. As our nickel finish is made using only one plating on brass, it offers a subtle warmth that cannot be replicated by more modern chrome finishes.

Satin Chrome - Satin chrome is created from a base metal of solid brass with a quality chrome plating applied to its surface. Satin chrome offers an understated alternative to polished chrome. Its blue traces and less reflective appearance make this finish popular with those who wish to elect a matt finish.
