Hand Burnished Copper

Copper parts are hand burnished and left uncoated to oxidize and age to a patina similar to an old penny.  

Terne-Coated Copper

A coating of hot-dipped tin alloy is applied to the raw copper sheet at the foundry.  When left exposed to the elements its bright new finish will dull down to a mottled gray.  

Darkened Terne Coated Copper

Terne-coated copper is oxidized by hand and then sealed to retain its blackened finish.  DO NOT USE METAL POLISH AS IT WILL REMOVE THE PLATING.

Hand Burnished Brass

Metal Parts are burnished and left uncoated to age naturally.  They will darken over time and acquire a black colored patina.  

Antique Pewter

Metal parts are hand-plated with our pewter formula.  They will oxidize darken and acquire the patina of mottled, old pewter.  DO NOT USE METAL POLISH AS IT WILL REMOVE THE PLATING.

Gunmetal 

Metal parts are plated with our custom blue-black formula.  

Finger Prints

Fingerprints on metal are initially prominent due to accelerated oxidation.   Each fixture is assembled by hand and the moisture in the skin darkens the contacted metal rapidly.  The drier remaining portions of exposed metal will darken more slowly.  Both areas will blend as they age and acquire a patina.
