Texture Finish

Patina: Patinas are living finishes that naturally evolve over time in response to use, light, and environmental factors. Lacquered patinas, however, halt the natural patina process to prevent its aging.
Finished Made by Hand All work performed by BELT is crafted by hand by skilled artisans; therefore, there may be subtle changes in the character, look and feel on finish of the final pieces. Thus, slight color or grain differences do not constitute grounds for complaint.

APPLICATION & USES

Unlimited: Unlimited in all scenarios. This finish is available for interior and exterior uses.

Limited: Limited to bronze, cold rolled steel and hot rolled steel and copper. Finishes may appear slightly different depending on the material selected, as each base metal interacts uniquely with the applied finish.
