THE HANDMADE COLLECTION
Ged Kennett works in stainless steel and brass; producing a variety of TEXTURES and FINISHES.
There are 5 brass finishes available, varying from High gloss polished to a dark patinated bronze. They are all living finishes that are designed to polish and patinate with age and use. Over time they will gain their own unique patina that reflects their environment.
For stainless steel handles Ged uses different techniques to attain three levels of finish: Matt, Semi-gloss and Full gloss. For the full gloss polish Ged uses a seven-stage polishing system of the finest Swedish compounds, culminating with a very special, super high gloss polish, applied with the softest 'swans' down' mops. This produces a beautifully deep polish of the highest quality.
As we only work with solid metals, Nickel or chrome plated finishes are not available, although stainless steel is often a very close match. Alternatively, items can be provided ready for plating.
Brass bar is supplied in imperial dimensions, so the nearest imperial equivalent is often used to the metric dimensions listed.
As all these fittings are made and finished by hand, variation in colour, texture and dimension are part of their character.
