Let’s Compare – Oil Rubbed Bronze

Oil rubbed bronze is the finish people ask for most — stairs, knobs, lights, all of it. The problem is how many versions look cheap: flat, muddy, or sprayed on.

The photo below is ours on the left and three other stair-market ORBs on the right. Nothing in the picture is edited.

That is the difference. Ours is a satin black base with real bronze rubbed over the bar. The others are what you get when ORB is just a color name on a box.
