Dark Antique

For those, like us, that love the depth of black, but don't want to lose the life of the metal itself, Dark Antique is the way to go! Designed as an elevated alternative to flat black, Dark Antique shifts subtly as light moves across the surface from black to deep graphite to charcoal. Giving a richness from every angle.

Very low to no marbling, just smooth, even tone with soft reflectivity.

Use this finish when you want black, but still want to have all that building in metal has to offer.

Dark Antique is one of our refined patina finishes and will add about 10% of finishing cost.
