Our Finishes

Each Louis Fraser finish is carefully hand-applied using traditional techniques. Our finishes are designed to age beautifully, developing unique character over time.

Originals Collection

Creative Period Designs

The Originals collection features three distinctive finishes, crafted to complement both period and contemporary surroundings.

Oil Rubbed Bronze

Code: ORB

Cast from solid bronze, all items pass through a series of hand applied chemical processes to help achieve this natural patina with the finish completed with a thin coating of beeswax. In time and usage, the original colour of this product will slowly age, giving each piece its own natural uniqueness.

Suitable for internal and external use

Antique Pewter

Code: AP

Cast from solid bronze, all items pass through a series of hand applied chemical processes to help achieve this natural patina.

Suitable for internal and external use

Dull Black

Code: DB

Cast from malleable iron, a protective undercoat (phosphate) treatment is applied prior to the final coating of Black paint. A traditional dip paint process is used thereafter, to aid the dull Black appearance.

Suitable for internal and external use
