For customers whose decor matches better with aluminum or black footers and SAMSON hardware — instead of polished brass — we've found an excellent local powder coating shop. Their high quality Semi-Gloss Black and Satin Silver coatings nicely compliment many component finishes — without sacrificing the optimal resonant properties of the proprietary brass alloy used for all Mapleshade footers and stands. We offer either coating option at $10 per item (three piece minimum) or $7.50 for 25 pieces or more. More colors are available, please call (410) 685-4618 for more info.
