verdi gris, patina, green patina, cooper acetate


Explanation:
Estas são as traduções de "azinhavre", aquela camada verde que se forma pela oxidação do cobre. Green patina parece ser o mais adequado, apesar de não ter exatamente o mesmo sentido que é dado a "pátina" (tipo de acabamento de móveis) no Brasil, possivelmente tem a mesma origem.

Espero que ajude,
Márcio

(with a ) verdigris finish / verdigris coating


Explanation:
Note that verdigris is one word.

I prefer the first of the two, if you refer to a piece of furniture thus prepared for the market.


For a more technical description 'a coPPer acetate finish/finished in coPPer acetate'
