Our Finishes

Over time our team have developed and refined a range of different copper and brass finishes. Click the options below to learn more about our range of unique finishes.

All finishes, with the exception of our natural copper or brass, are treated with an appropriate protective coating in order to help to protect and preserve the chosen finish. We make use of either a marine grade lacquer or a natural beeswax finish, with these varying depending on their suitability for the chosen finish.

Our Natural Finishes are amongst the most popular of our finishes range.

Over time, copper and brass that is left untreated will develop a natural layer of tarnish, darkening in colour to a variety of rustic tones. This layer brings both anti-microbial and corrosion resistant properties, making it a perfect choice for both indoor and outdoor use.

Our Satin Finishes are polished and finished to the same level of polish as our natural finishes, however each item is then protected with multiple coats of lacquer to protect and prevent natural tarnish from occuring.

For our Antique Finish, we take the copper or brass through a natural tarnishing process. This process allows us to darken the material and give a finish that is bold and full of character.

Verdigris refers to the natural blue-green patina that develops when copper weathers as a result of exposure to air and seawater over time. Usually this is a natural process that occurs over many years, we however could not wait that long to release this finish as option on our copper hardware.

Before

After

One of the brilliant properties of copper and brass is their ability to prevent the growth and proliferation of harmful germs, bacteria and viruses that are spread with the human touch.

Natural copper and brass when left unlacquered is a self cleaning metal, which is why we think that it is the ideal choice for handles.

Use the scroll function on the image above to see an example of the natural tarnish of copper over time. This later of tarnish can either be left to develop over time, or alternatively can easily be cleaned and restored to its original shine.
