Antique Black Nickel Plating

Decorative Antique Black Nickel Plating

Durga Electroplater offers antique black nickel plating, a premium decorative finish that combines strong corrosion resistance with an elegant dark appearance. This finish is widely used for hardware, furniture fittings, automotive interior trims, and architectural components where a matte or satin black look is desired. Established in 2004, we provide consistent and high-quality results using barrel plating for small and medium production batches.

Our Process

Antique black nickel plating is an electrolytic process carried out using a nickel-zinc alloy bath, producing a uniform dark matte to semi-gloss black finish.

A nickel undercoat is first applied to enhance adhesion and improve overall corrosion resistance of the final coating. The final appearance varies depending on the base metal and surface preparation — smoother surfaces result in a deeper black finish, while textured surfaces produce a rich dark charcoal tone.

Key Benefits
