Sanmei Metal offers both a traditional brass tone and a lighter brass tone under PVD coating. The traditional brass tone sits closer to a classic warm gold-family color, while the lighter tone leans cooler with a slightly greenish undertone — closer to how champagne gold sits between gold and silver. Both range from lighter to deeper across pieces rather than being one fixed shade, giving hammered brass sheet metal a natural, non-uniform look as light catches the raised edges of each strike differently from the shadowed centers.

For a more aged, antique character, we also offer a vintage brass line — water-plated (chemically plated) in a brass tone, then oxidized to darken and vary the color before being hammered. The result reads as a naturally weathered, deeper beaten brass than the standard PVD line. Browse our full Antique Finish Stainless Steel Sheet range for more antiqued and vintage-toned options.

Every panel is hand-hammered, one strike at a time, so no two sheets come out identical. We offer 12 patterns, grouped by strike type:

• Linear strikes — Vertical Line Hammered, Elongated Flat Hammered
  
  
• Dot and pebble strikes — Flat Pebble Hammered, Pebble Texture, Fine Pebble Texture, Dotted Pebble Hammered, Hammered Pebble Texture
  
  
• Flat and round strikes — Flat Hammered, Round Flat Hammered
  
  
• Organic and irregular strikes — Meteorite Hammered, Corn Kernel Hammered
  
  
• Corrosion-look strike — Etched Hammered, recreating the pitted, weathered look of natural corrosion without any chemical process
