Pewter Burnished

If you want to see Pewter in its truest form, Burnished Pewter is the way to go! We sand the surface with a non-directional sand then, add a final circular hand rub to bring out the natural luster of the metal. It is one of the easiest finishes we create because Pewter is a naturally glowing, luxurious, and over the top gorgeous! Amy often likens Pewter to butter.... not your standard, every day butter but, a salted, creamy, European butter. And, we have not met a person yet that doesn't agree,... it really is creamy, rich and over the top.

As Burnished Pewter without a clear coat ages, it will slowly darken and richen much like sterling silver does. You will have total control over how dark or, light you want your Pewter to tarnish because you can polish it back up anytime you would like or, simply let it go. Over time, the lower lying areas or spaces around the trim that are difficult to polish will continue being darker adding yet another level of depth.

No mottling on this finish as them metal is cleaned up and left as nature intended. We can add a clear coat finish to Burnished Pewter however, the clear coat tends to flatten any of the natural luster of the metal. Without clear coat, natural tarnishing will occur with time and will require maintenance to keep bright and fresh. There is a trade off for either option, just tell us what you prefer!

Burnished Pewter is a standard Pewter finish and will not add cost to the finishing price.
