Oil Rubbed Bronze differs among manufacturers so keep this in mind if getting a close match is important to you. Some manufacturers’ offer this as more of a flat, matte finish and others as a more iridescent finish. Within these, some are a “living finish” which means it may be plated with metals and/or have oxidizing agents applied to achieve its mellow finish. A “living finish” also changes over time with use or touch making each piece unique. All of these specialty finishes are fragile finishes that must be inspected prior to installation and are not warranted further. Some examples are listed below.

Care and Maintenance for “Living Finishes”

It is best to read the manufacturer’s care and maintenance recommendations. Typically, to treat this finish, you can occasionally apply a light machine oil to deepen the color and sheen of the untouched portions of the product. Cover the metal parts with oil entirely, allow the oil to stand for a few minutes then gently rub off the excess with a clean cloth.
