Antique Plating
Specialized antique finishing that imparts an elegant, aged patina onto metal surfaces — delivering timeless vintage character for architectural and decorative applications.
Process Overview
Antique plating is a specialized metal finishing process that creates an elegant, aged patina on metal surfaces. This technique can be applied to brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals to achieve a timeless, vintage aesthetic.
The antique finishing process involves carefully controlled chemical treatments and hand-applied patinas that replicate the look of naturally aged metal. Available in a range of tones — from warm bronze to dark oil-rubbed finishes — antique plating is the premier choice for luxury architectural hardware, period-style furniture, and bespoke interior accents.
