This door has been coated with bronze and then polished back to one step before a completely smooth finish. This finish is known as ‘pseudo smooth’. As well as being a more economical finish, it also allows the metal to retain some texture.
The Pearl ageing is a liquid solution that we apply in a similar manner to Florentine. As well as darkening the metal, it also reacts to bring up pearlescent notes, as seen in this image. The pearling process is more random than the Florentine process, meaning every door is a unique work.
