The sample tray.

The metals and finishes we work in, including our own blackened finish for stainless steel. Finishes are sampled and approved before fabrication starts.SAMPLE

Blackened stainless steel door pull, close detail

Blackened stainless

Our own blackening process on stainless steel: a deep graphite with a soft sheen that keeps stainless steel’s strength and corrosion resistance.SAMPLE

Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and chlorine cleaners.SAMPLE

Brass door frame and diamond pull on a wine wall, close detail

Brass

Warm and reflective, polished or brushed. Left to age, brass deepens to an amber patina; lacquered, it holds its first colour.SAMPLE

Care
Dust with a microfiber cloth. Unlacquered brass can be refreshed with a mild brass polish.SAMPLE

See it in Brass Work, Private Residence

Bronze

Darker and richer than brass, bronze takes patinas from golden brown to near black and suits cabinetry, hardware and trim.SAMPLE

Care
Dust regularly. A thin coat of paste wax keeps the patina even.SAMPLE
