Copper, bronze and verdigris

Metallic finishes applied by hand and aged on purpose. Each surface carries real metal tones, oxidised and burnished so no two areas are alike.

The tones

Four ways metal ages

Every patina is sampled first. We adjust the base colour, the metal and how far it is oxidised until it suits the room and its light.

Where we use it

Patina works best where it is seen up close and caught by light: one strong surface in an otherwise quiet room.

Practical notes

Where it works

Patina finishes suit feature walls, chimney breasts, staircases, joinery, bath panels and worktops. Surfaces that are touched or splashed are sealed to suit their use.

Because each piece is aged by hand, the final surface will vary from the sample in the way natural metal does. We agree the range of variation with you on a full-size sample board before work starts.
