Copper Plated Stainless Steel Panels with Antique Brass Finish

– Authentic Oxidized Texture & Vintage Patina by Meslier

Contents:40 copper plated antiqued designs.

Texture: random weaves and brushed finish

Color: Brass Patina Finish

The principle of stainless steel copper plating and aging: a real copper layer is electroplated on the surface, and then a chemical solution is used to make

the copper surface corrode and form rust spots, patterns, and a transparent clear lacquer is applied to protect the surface from further oxidation.

Advantages: Because it is the color formed by copper oxidation, it has good texture, which cannot be compared with other materials.

Disadvantages: The formation of rust spots is related to the concentration of the antiquing solution, air humidity, outdoor temperature, and the techniques used by the craftsman. For example, the color achieved in the summer may be difficult to replicate in the winter.

Product Introduction

Meslier’s Copper Plated Stainless Steel Panels offer a striking combination of industrial precision and artisanal aging. Each panel is crafted by electroplating real copper onto stainless steel, followed by a controlled chemical antiquing process that produces natural rust spots, textures, and patina tones. The result is a one-of-a-kind antique brass finish with rich color depth and organic imperfections that cannot be replicated by paint or artificial coatings.

With 40 unique antiqued copper finishes available, this collection is perfect for architects, designers, and builders seeking luxurious, character-rich surfaces for walls, ceilings, furniture, signage, or art installations.

How It’s Made: The Copper Plating & Aging Process

Electroplating: A layer of real copper is bonded to stainless steel using industrial electroplating.
Aging: The panel is treated with a carefully formulated antiquing solution that reacts with copper to form oxidized patterns, rust spots, and vintage color transitions.
Stabilizing: After desired aging is achieved, a clear protective lacquer is applied to seal the surface while preserving the visual character.

Note: The final appearance depends on air humidity, temperature, chemical ratios, and craftsmanship techniques. Each panel is uniquely aged and no two are exactly alike.
