Dark Oxidation Copper Finish

The Custom Lantern Finish You Can Only Get from Flambeaux

No Paint. No Powder Coat. Just Pure, Aged Copper.

There’s a big difference between something that looks aged — and something that is aged.

At Flambeaux, we’re the only manufacturer offering a true Dark Oxidation finish — a deep, bronzed patina achieved through a hand-applied chemical aging process. No shortcuts. No overseas knockoffs. And absolutely no paint.

What Makes Our Finish Different?

Most of what you see online marketed as “aged copper” or “oil-rubbed bronze” is a sprayed-on or powder-coated finish — a painted illusion that chips, peels, or fades.

Flambeaux’s Dark Oxidation finish is the real deal:

• Made from solid copper — not a veneer or coating 
• Aged by hand in our Louisiana workshop 
• Chemically oxidized, not painted or coated 
• Continues to evolve over time based on your environment 
• Exclusive to Flambeaux — no other manufacturer offers this process 

Each lantern is lightly oiled after oxidation, but that’s just a starting point. As the lantern adjusts to your space, the copper deepens, shifts, and takes on unique tones. It’s what we call a living finish — one that can’t be faked.

Why It Matters

When you choose a Flambeaux lantern, you’re not just choosing a look — you’re choosing authenticity. That means:

✔️ A finish that won’t chip or peel
✔️ A fixture that gets better with time
✔️ A style that can’t be mass-produced
✔️ A legacy piece you’ll be proud to display
