Patina Finishing Service

Halman Thompson offers a professional patination finishing service so you can enjoy a truly bespoke finish on a selection of metal items.

We can add an aged metal patina to copper or brass items such as tabletops, counter tops, wall panels, furniture items, metal screens, signs, sculptures and more. We can also add a brushed finish to various types of metal.

All metals that pass through our patina finishing service are aged by hand by expert craftsmen. This gives you the freedom to choose the exact tone and depth of colour you want.

All aged metal pieces will be artificially aged by hand and then sealed in tough lacquer. The lacquer is designed to stop the ageing process and protect the metal.

Aged copper finishes

Aged copper is one of the warmest, most flexible metals around and is ideal for interior décor. Combine beauty with functionality with our patina finishing service.

Aged copper finishes include:

• Ayrshire finish – Relaxed, light copper patina with small specks of verdigris throughout
• Cheshire finish – Rich, natural colours with that timeless quality of aged metal
• Hertfordshire finish – Luxurious effect with larger areas of verdigris offering real depth
• Northumberland finish – Swirls of colour with multiple layers of copper and verdigris

Multiple pieces will be aged together for a cohered look and then sealed inside tough gloss lacquer to protect the metal.

Aged brass finishes

Aged brass is a lovely material with similar depth and character to copper but with a completely different feel. We can achieve two distinct looks with our patina finishing service.

• Somerset finish – Deep, lustrous aged brass with a multi-layered aged patina
• Wiltshire finish – Lighter, more easygoing aged brass finish with speckles throughout

Aged brass pieces will be aged to achieve the desired look and then sealed in a robust lacquer to provide protection for the finish.
