Pewter Cast
Much like Pewter Butterfish, the Cast Pewter relies more on texture than actual patina color for its interesting and aged look. When Pewter is done right, (which of course is the way we do it around here) an ingot is melted down and poured into metal forms to create the intricate trims and details needed for our hood trim details. This process leaves pin head sized bubbles in the hot metal giving it a naturally aged and timeless look and feel.
Ultimately, this texture is quite reminiscent of an unrefined pewter piece one might find at an antique dealer in the streets of Paris. Think antique pewter dishes or ale cups. (And by "unrefined", we mean perfectly hand crafted.)
Pewter cast has an over all flat tone although, when up close, you will see the pitting and the Antique Patina caught in those depressions speckling the surface.
All of our Cast finishes add extra love to the making of the piece, and therefore have a higher cost than one of our Standard Finishes.
