Ageing Process 

After the faucet is aged it will be completely black and oxidized. At this point the product will be hand finished to remove the right amount of oxidization and importantly in the right direction to create the signature Renaissance Antique Copper look.

Oiled

One the right amount of oxidization has been removed to give the Renaissance Bronze look, it is sealed (Oiled) Using a wax. This is applied by hand and then allowed to stand for one hour before being hand polished by one of our trained faucet agers. The polishing process takes approximately ten minutes per faucet and when complete seals the aesthetic within a lustrous natural satin that feels silky smooth when touched.
