Surface Treatment

Wallpiece parts are individually patinaed in different colors. Most of our patinas are achieved by brushing chemical solutions onto the surface of the brass while heating that surface with an oxyacetylene torch. Click here for more information on our patinas.


Other surface treatments:

  • flame oxidation
  • flowed bronze
  • scrap construction
  • etching
  • machine engraving
  • hammer peening
