Antique Bronze (AB)
Often referred to as an oiled rubbed bronze this dark (brown, almost black) finish has more depth and dimension than a standard black. Plated on a solid brass, this finish is lightly oiled for protection during transit and installation. Considered a living finish it is meant to patina and change with use.
