Our Finishes

Our specialist finishes have been carefully developed and refined over many years, and most are unique to us. We are proud to offer a wide variety of hand-applied, high-quality finishes that give our customers an abundance of choice.

Beeswax

For Internal Use Only

Beeswax is the most authentic finish for steel. After forging, the colours in the steel range from blue to deep red ochre. Our products are dipped into hot beeswax to preserve these colours, which gives a subtle, matt richness and offers excellent protection when the products are fitted internally. It has a highly natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder-coated finish.

External Beeswax

For Internal & External Use

Our external beeswax is unique to From The Anvil and is manufactured from anti-corrosive beeswax. It has a matt richness, and like our standard beeswax, the depth of colour ranges from blue to deep red ochre: an extremely natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder-coated finish.

Black

For Internal & External Use

Our black finish is a popular choice in traditional settings; it has a subtle sheen and offers a bold contrast on both stained and painted timber. It is baked in a high-temperature oven giving it durable corrosion-resistant properties. This finish is extremely low maintenance and perfect for use in bathrooms, kitchens or externally where damper environmental conditions are expected.

Matt Black

For Internal & External Use

Ours refind matt black finish has a distinctly contemporary feel. Naturally, it looks excellent in ultra-modern interiors, but this versatile finish is timeless and will create a sophisticated statement in traditional or more rustic settings too. The matt black finish is applied to a base material of solid steel and then baked in a high-temperature oven, resulting in a subtle black patina that emphasises the products clean silhouette.

Pewter Patina

For Internal & External Use

Our pewter patina finish is forged from a durable base of steel. It is a fine example of how our unique manufacturing techniques add further detail to the natural charm of metals. The process of creating contrasting textures of this finish results in a rich appearance that sits well in characterful, rustic homes and offers a contemporary alternative in more modern settings.

Antique Pewter

For Internal & External Use

The antique pewter finish results from a complex process applied to solid brass, offering an attractive alternative to pewter patina. This finish is applied to brass rather than steel; it has fewer textural marks making it smoother than our patina finish.

Natural Smooth

For Internal Use Only

Our natural smooth products are made from natural cast iron and finished with a clear matt lacquer. This produces a beautifully smooth look and offers a simplistic charm with versatile attributes, making it suitable for traditional and contemporary settings.

Natural Textured

For Internal Use Only

Our natural textured products are made from natural cast iron and finished with a clear matt lacquer. Although the product surfaces are smooth, the complex finishing adds a depth of texture to each product, offering an abundance of character for traditional settings.

Iron

For Internal & External Use

Made from solid iron, this finish highlights the natural beauty and texture of the material. It is cast and finished with a clear powder coating to protect the iron from weather and moisture, giving it a rich depth and subtle sheen.

Polished Brass

For Internal & External Use

Made from solid unlacquered brass, this finish is classic and simplistic and offers excellent possibilities for stately and period dwellings alike, particularly where a very traditional look is desired. When fully polished, this finish has a depth of reflection. Alternatively, this finish can be left to age naturally, which will create a beautifully historic finish over time.

Lacquered Brass

For Internal & External Use

They are made from solid brass base material with a quality lacquer applied to their surface. This finish is designed to avoid discolouration and oxidisation, making it a great choice if desired low maintenance. We recommend avoiding using any chemicals or cleaning products on this finish to prevent a breakdown of the lacquered topcoat. 

Aged Brass

For Internal & External Use

Our aged brass products are made from solid unlacquered brass, offering an abundance of character and charm. This finish is ideal for period dwellings and will create a statement throughout. Due to the accelerated ageing process this finish undergoes, a darker patina gathers around the edges and recesses to contrast beautifully with the re-polished surface areas.

PVD Brass

For Internal & External Use

A PVD finish is made from stainless steel and stands for "Physical Vapour Deposition". PVD is designed to avoid discolouration, choosing if low maintenance is desired.

Polished Bronze

For Internal & External Use

Manufactured from solid bronze containing a minimum of 85% copper, this finish can be described as a @living finish@ that adapts to its surroundings. This finish is firstly aged and then re-polished, which creates a subtle contrast between the lighter surface areas and the darker detailed areas of each product. A perfect choice for both contemporary and traditional settings.

Aged Bronze

For Internal & External Use

This finish is manufactured from solid bronze containing a minimum of 85% copper. The finish starts off extremely dark with a rich, matt look due to the process used to age the metal. However, the finish will gradually lighten over time, revealing the warmer copper undertones and achieving a contrasting depth of character.

Polished Nickel

For Internal & External Use

Our polished nickel finish is a high-quality plating applied to solid brass. This finish is bright, reflective and highly versatile. It is very well suited to modern properties but equally matched to traditional settings due to the warm, calm tones. Our nickel finish is made using only one plating on brass; it offers a subtle warmth that more modern chrome finishes cannot replicate.

Polished Chrome

For Internal & External Use

Our polished chrome products are made from a base metal of solid brass and a high-quality chrome plating applied to the surface. A high sheen finish that is most commonly used in contemporary settings. This finish offers bright, bold and reflective qualities, which work best if a clean, cool look is desired.

Satin Chrome

For Internal & External Use

Satin chrome is created from a base metal of solid brass with quality chrome plating applied to its surface. Satin chrome offers an understated alternative to polished chrome. Its blue traces and minor reflective appearance make this finish popular with those wishing to elect a matt finish.

Ebony

For Internal & External Use

An ebonised finish made from rosewood timber is favoured for its rich, dark tones. When paired with brass, it accentuates the traditional look, and when used with nickel or chrome, it creates a more contemporary feel.

Rosewood

For Internal & External Use

It is made from high-quality rosewood timber and waxed to enhance and protect its rich, red hue and characterful veining. When paired with brass, it accentuates the traditional look, and when used with or chrome, it creates a more contemporary feel.
