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.
Unlimited: Unlimited in all materials. Finishes may appear slightly different depending on the material selected, as each base metal interacts uniquely with the applied finish.

Restorability
The level of restorability depends on several factors,
including the type of finish—whether patina, paint,
gilding, plating, chiseling, or photoengraving—along with
the application, usage, shine level, and protection
applied to the surface.
Interior applications
LIMITED
MODERATE
GREAT
On-site restoration is possible but may involve minor compromises. These finishes can be renewed without full refinishing, although additional labor may be needed for optimal results. Spot touchups are an option.
Exterior applications

In most cases, the piece will need to be disassembled and taken to the atelier for repairs. Full refurbishing offsite is typically required to ensure the integrity of the restoration and to avoid potential compromises in the final result.

REMARKS AND DISCLAIMERS
REMARKS AND DISCLAIMERS
Oxidation process.
This finish is achieved through an oxidation process to develop its distinctive tone. As a result, it is more susceptible to immediate surface corrosion and natural variations in appearance.
Material characteristics.
Oxidation may occur on ferrous metal components as part of the natural aging process of the material.
Texture availability.
This finish is available exclusively in a smooth texture.
Protection coating.
Permalac protection slows down the aging of the finish but highlights imperfections that are not apparent to the eye.
