Frank Allart metal finishes and patinas are skillfully created and applied by our experienced craftspeople to the highest possible standards to meet the aspirations of today’s discerning customer. Colour and texture variation is inherent in the creation of hand finished patinas; and once installed, touch, time and environment should lead to gradual wear and oxidization, lending character and elegance.
LacqueredSome of our finishes have a lacquer applied to aid the preservation of the original finish. These finishes are not recommended for use in high traffic areas or extreme locations as the lacquer may break down prematurely.
