Specialist Finishes

With two decades of specialist experience, Luke Black develops bespoke finishes that unite craftsmanship with creative precision.

Whether working to a defined brief or shaping the concept from the outset, we collaborate closely with clients to create finishes that elevate and anchor a space. Our materials include gesso, liquid metals, gilding, layered pigments, lacquer work and more — each applied by hand with intention and control.

From statement artworks to architectural detailing, every surface is crafted to reflect the tone, rhythm, and atmosphere of its setting.

If you’d like to discuss a project — or don’t see the right finish in our gallery — we’re always happy to explore what’s possible.

Wood Finishes

We can bring out the beauty of any wooden surface using a multitude of techniques. Working on everything from individual pieces of furniture to fully panelled rooms, we can craft the perfect surface to compliment your interior design scheme.

Liquid Metal

Hand sculpted by our Decorative Artists, our striking decorative Liquid Metal Finishes combine the aesthetics and lustre of genuine metal with the texture and versatility of paint. Even when practicality and budget restrict the use of cast metal, a decorative Liquid Metal Finish can be applied.
