“Verdigris” Finish

I love the way this finish turned out! It is light and has depth, which accomplishes the aged copper look. Perfect!Verdigris Finish on 3/4" Rod and Brackets

“Verdigris” Finish

Working on a new finish for us called Verdigris. It’s a green-ish, worn copper look that I am applying to a rod, brackets, finials and rings for a drapery install tomorrow. This finish is required because the client has a very contemporary home with sink bowls in the master bath that have a green glass hue. The drapery will be a green sheer fabric hung on a large window over over a free-standing tub. All bathroom hardware is a sleek chrome, but there are hints of antique green in a large painting – thus the antique green sheers. this antique green will warm up the chrome, stone and glass and will soften the hard edges. Our finish will be applied to steel base coated with a light bronze, over which we will mix pewter and copper with the verdigris to transform it into a worn copper look. I’ll supply pictures later!
