DELICATE, INTRICATE AND DURABLE: EACH SURFACE IS TREATED AS A CANVAS, HAND APPLIED BY BASED UPON’S ARTISTS.
THE MATERIAL STRENGTH OF THE LAYERED LIQUID METAL AND THE NATURAL TEXTURAL MARKS THESE SURFACES CONTAIN ALLOW THEM TO AGE VERY WELL. OFTEN BEGINNING LIFE WITH A PATINA WHICH BECOMES RICHER OVER TIME, THESE SURFACES HAVE BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY FOR FURNITURE AND HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, ACCOMMODATING THE MARKS OF USE INTO THEIR CHARACTER. AS A GENERAL PRINCIPLE, THE MORE DISTRESSED THE SURFACE IS AT ITS ORIGIN, THE BETTER IT WILL ACCOMMODATE THE MARKS OF USE. IN BRONZE THEY ARE CERTIFIED FOR THEIR ANTI-VIRAL PROPERTIES. 

DESPITE THE STRENGTHS OF OUR SURFACES, WE REMIND OUR CLIENTS THAT BASED UPON SURFACES HAVE BEEN FINELY CRAFTED BY ARTISTS: THEY SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE AN ARTWORK AS REPAIRING THEM BEYOND THE REMOVAL OF light stains or marks REQUIRES OUR OWN ARTISTS TO DO THE WORK.
