Drake & Wrigley Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB) Finish The Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB) finish offered by Drake & Wrigley is a classic, deeply aged metal finish prized for its traditional, "living" aesthetic and rich colour depth. It is a finish that evolves naturally over time, providing a unique character to high-end architectural hardware. Key Features:Aesthetic: ORB is characterized by its dark, deep bronze to nearly black colour base, which is selectively rubbed back to expose lighter, coppery or champagne bronze tones on the edges, highlights, and raised areas of the hardware. This contrast creates a rich, aged, and dimensional appearance. Finish Type: This is explicitly listed by Drake & Wrigley as a "Living Finish." This means the finish is designed to age gracefully over time. Through regular use and exposure to the environment, the finish will continue to patina—the dark areas may lighten slightly, and the exposed bronze areas may continue to deepen in color—resulting in a unique, natural, and beautiful look that is distinct to its environment. Material Base: This finish is primarily applied to Drake & Wrigley's high-quality, commercial-grade nonferrous metals, most commonly solid brass components (e.g., pull handles, door stops, and window fasteners). Maintenance: As a living finish, it does not have a durable protective lacquer (like their Electro Bronze finish). Drake & Wrigley recommends periodic cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap. To further protect and enhance the patina, a thin layer of olive oil or a proprietary wax polish can be occasionally applied.
The Drake & Wrigley Oil Rubbed Bronze finish is the ideal choice for projects seeking a timeless, authentic bronze appearance with a warm, dark colour palette and the unique character that only a finish designed to age gracefully can provide.
