Old and New Window Furniture

In this photo are satin chrome (modern) and oil rubbed bronze (vintage) casement window furniture. If having an modern extension to a period home, it's often a good idea to follow the same style of window furniture, but contrast from a period finish (such as this oil rubbed bronze) to a more contemporary finish, such as the satin chrome.

Satin chrome is a softer finish than polished chrome and will therfore be more forgiving when contasting against a dark finish, such as theis oil rubbed bronze.

This photo is a close-up of the detailing on a satin chrome CR 6394 Sliding Casement Stay and also an oil rubbed bronze CR 1850 French Door Fastener.
