Patination, Metal Finishing & Restoration for Artists and Designers

From one-off pieces to large-scale productions, we’re here to help finish your vision

Welcome

We’re a specialist patination and metal finishing studio based in Deptford, South-East London. Our work covers everything from bespoke patinas on bronze, brass, and copper to finishing in steel, aluminium, and mixed metals. Whether it’s a single sculpture or an ongoing production run, we collaborate closely to create finishes that reflect your intent.

If you’re experimenting with patina for the first time, commissioning a large-scale installation, thinking about a production run or seeking expert restoration, our role is to bring clarity and craft to the process.

Clients often tell us they value our honesty and experience. We’ll always give straightforward advice, explain what will work - and just as importantly, what won’t - so you can make confident decisions.
