We finish most of our metalwork in one of four ways: 1. Powder coating, which is a very durable, very clean, and very even finish. 2. Specialist / antique finishes, which are all applied by hand using metal powders, varnishes, and pigment. 3. Patination. Here chemicals are applied to the steel or bronze to oxidize the surface of the metal. The metal is then oiled and waxed. This can give a very “natural” finish which is deliberately not uniform, but has charm and character. 4. Hand-polishing. This applies to stainless steel and bronze only. The surfaces are hand polished to a mirror finish.

Our specialist and antique finishes are all applied by hand using metal powders, varnishes, and pigment. These specialist finishes help make our furniture pieces entirely bespoke.

There are five colourways that make up the Papillon collection – all named after butterflies, and they are applied by hand using the powder coating process. This is usually a very industrial process so it is very unusual to do it like this.

Antiqued glass is an ideal finish for luxury furniture design. The process that goes into making it is intricate and artistic in equal measures. A host of secret artistic techniques are adopted to build up the right level of “aging”. This finish can be used across many furniture pieces – from dining table tops to cabinet door panels.

As a metalwork furniture designer, our most popular designs naturally tend to have a bronze or brass finish. We offer a variety of looks with this finish from an antiqued feel to a sharper, polished more contemporary finish.

Leather is a classic finish to an upholstered furniture piece. It ages beautifully and stands the test of time.
