Beeswax - For Internal Use Only

The beeswax finish is the most authentic finish for steel. After forging, the colours left in the steel range from blue to deep red ochre. To preserve these beautiful colours, the beeswax products are dipped into hot beeswax. This gives a subtle, matt richness to the metal and offers excellent protection when the products are fitted internally and properly maintained. An extremely natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder coated finish.

External Beeswax - For internal & external use

The external beeswax is unique to From the Anvil and is manufactured from an anti-corrosive beeswax. It has a matt richness and like the standard beeswax, the depth of colour ranges from blue to deep red ochre. An extremely natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder coated finish.

The black finish is a popular choice in traditional settings, it has a subtle sheen and offers a bold contrast on both stained and painted timber alike. It is baked in a high-temperature oven giving it durable corrosion resistant properties.

Matt Black - For internal & external use

The refined matt black finish has a distinct contemporary feel. Naturally, it looks great in ultra-modern interiors, but this versatile finish is timeless and will create a sophisticated statement in traditional or more rustic settings too.

This finish is extremely low maintenance and has excellent corrosion resistant properties.

Pewter Patina - For internal & external use

The pewter patina finish is forged from a durable base of steel and is a fine example of how our unique manufacturing techniques add further detail to the natural charm of metals. The process by which the contrasting textures of this finish are created results in a rich appearance that sits well in characterful, rustic homes but also offers a contemporary alterative in more modern settings. The pewter products are complemented by natural materials such as oak or looks equally as good against many paint colours.

Antique Pewter - For internal & external use

The antique pewter finish is the result of a complex process applied to solid brass, offering an attractive alternative to pewter patina. As this finish is applied to brass rather than steel, it has fewer textural marks making it smoother than the pewter patina finish.

Polished Brass - For internal & external use

Made from solid unlacquered brass, this finish is both classic and simplistic and offers great possibilities for stately and period dwellings alike, particularly where a very traditional look is desired. When fully polished this finish has a depth of reflection. However, as the product is unlacquered this can also be left to age naturally, which over time will create a beautifully historic finish.

Made from a solid brass base material with a quality lacquer applied to its surface. This finish is designed to avoid discolouration and oxidisation, making it a great choice if low maintenance is desired.  We recommend avoiding the use of any chemicals or cleaning products on this finish to prevent a break-down of the lacquered top-coat.

Aged Brass - For internal & external use

The aged brass products are made from solid unlacquered brass, offering an abundance of character and charm.

Due to the accelerated ageing process this finish undergoes, a darker patina gathers around the edges and recesses to contrast beautifully with the re-polished surface areas.
