aged bronze

Weathered copper alloy

Aged bronze describes the weathered appearance of bronze after exposure to air and moisture, characterized by a greenish patina called verdigris.

The term applies both to genuinely old bronze and to finishes that simulate this effect: aged bronze door hardware, an aged bronze lamp base.

The look suggests antique elegance or classical permanence.
