Finishes

All of our wares come in our standard 'bright' and 'warm' bronze finishes. In addition to those, we can do custom blackening as well as nickel.
 
We started out doing all blackening ourselves by hand patina.  That process has proven to be quite an arduous task that we can no longer take on in house. Now we are doing plating as well as powder coating (and send these out to get done) for all finishes outside of our signature 'warm' and 'bright' bronzes. 
Anything made from our 'warm' or 'bright' bronze finishes is cast from one of two solid bronze materials and only has lacquering and waxing on top to seal in the look and the lustre of the bronze.
Any of our wares that are 'blackened', are powder coated and anything that is 'nickel' finish is plated. These two looks are an add on layer to the underlying warm or bright bronze. And over the years, with use and time, the additional finish layers may show some wear. It really depends on the environment they are in, how they are cleaned and what they are subjected to.
We suggest only mild soap and water is ever used on our wares if food stuffs or kitchen oils get on them. Anything else could compromise the look and wearing of the finishes.
Please don't hesitate to contact us directly to get some information about what we can do for you.
