Charcoal, fluted with brass reveal

Deep fluting in charcoal, split by a brass reveal at counter height. It reads as furniture, not cabinetry, and hides a full run of storage.

Notes

The brass is a solid strip let into a groove, not a stick-on trim, so it sits flush and stays put. The fluting runs vertically above and below it, and the doors open on touch latches so the face carries nothing but the reveal.

Charcoal fluting belongs in a media wall, a wet bar or a dressing room: rooms lit low, where the ridges catch the light. It is the darkest finish in the library and the one most often paired with stone.

Questions about charcoal

Asked before the sample ships.

Does brass tarnish?

Unlacquered brass darkens to a soft brown over months; lacquered brass stays bright. Both are available. Most people who choose charcoal fluting want the unlacquered patina.

Can the reveal be another metal?

Yes. Blackened steel disappears into the charcoal; bronze sits between. The groove is the same, so the choice can wait until the shop drawings.

Hold charcoal in your own light before you decide.
