What is Ancient Metals?

 

Ancient Metals is our newest proprietary hand-applied artisan coating. Using a unique, multi-step procedure that creates a richly variegated end result with a tactile quality that mimics hammered metal to the touch and an aged appearance that imparts the luster of worn patina.

 

With an array of distinctive and resiliently functional characteristics, our custom-fabricated tabletops provide an ideal retrofit solution for restaurants, bars, cafes, and hotels in repurposing their existing table bases.
