Finishes & Options

Every Penn & Bristle piece is supplied in a chosen finish. Our hand-applied options allow the colour, character and decorative detail to be tailored to the furniture and your interior.

Painted finishes

Choose from our considered paint colours or discuss a bespoke shade for your scheme. Each finish is applied by hand to complement the form and detail of the piece.

Oiled, stained and limed

Oiling, staining and liming can emphasise the timber’s natural character while creating tones from subtle and pale to richer and deeper.

Waxed finishes

Where suitable, waxing creates a tactile, softly lustrous surface and helps protect the finish while retaining an understated appearance.

Gilded detail can be applied selectively to suitable pieces, adding elegant highlights and a distinctive decorative finish.
