The old and patinated aspects of  notably old bronze, old copper, greens of grey or brass are also the result of patina baths which, when mastered, mimic the ageing of the metal thanks to a chemical oxidation on the surface of the piece. A matt or glossy colourless varnish or even a wax for a more natural look can then be applied and baked in the oven to freeze the colour. In its absence, the tint will naturally age.

The old and patinated aspects, in particular the old bronzes, the old coppers, the verdigrises’ or the coppers also come from patina baths which, when controlled, imitate the aging of the metal thanks to a chemical oxidation of the surface of the piece .

Semi-precious, even precious, finishes like silver and gold, fashionable in the 1980s, are also applied after nickel plating. They are lacquered or matt, aged or brushed.

The gold thicknesses are low, between 0.2 and 1.5 microns for the most luxurious faucets (21 carats) compared to more than 3 microns in goldsmith’s trade. For silver, the thicknesses are less than 33 microns applied as in the tableware sector. Most of the time, it must be protected by a varnish, which avoids, especially in a humid environment, the phenomenon of sulfurization / oxidation.
