FINISHES<br />
Ku-Rust<br />
This finish enhances the darkness <strong>of</strong> the steel and<br />
displays the beauty and quality <strong>of</strong> the hand-crafted<br />
ironwork to full effect. It gives a more natural look<br />
and feel than painting. This is a beautiful finish for<br />
interior pieces. However we do not recommend this<br />
finish for exterior use.<br />
Linseed Oil<br />
A traditional finish dating back to the 18th century,<br />
linseed is used to preserve ironwork and is proven<br />
to be slightly more durable than traditional beeswax.<br />
We would only recommend this finish for interior<br />
use as regular maintenance would be required for<br />
external pieces. This finish has similar characteristics<br />
to a beeswax finish but with a more lustrous and<br />
clear appearance.<br />
Beeswax<br />
To create this finish the completed ironwork is<br />
heated in the fire and individually dipped into a hot<br />
liquid beeswax mixture. This is a traditional finish,<br />
recommended mainly for interior use, as exterior<br />
use requires the regular reapplication <strong>of</strong> wax. The<br />
finish is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, allowing<br />
the ironwork to showcase its natural appearance.<br />
Antique Aged<br />
This finish <strong>of</strong>fers a rustic aesthetic effect and can<br />
help bring a stylish industrial feel to any piece. A<br />
rust finish is suitable for both interior and exterior<br />
use and is sealed with linseed oil or renaissance wax<br />
to retain the effect and prevent further rusting.<br />
