Vintage Statement
These preloved brass pieces, each over 20 years old, showcase the timeless beauty and enduring charm of aged brass. Brass is a living metal that naturally develops character with age, making each piece truly unique. Expect to see patina variations, dark spots, and subtle greenish or bluish tints due to natural oxidation. Over time, these spots and other natural flaws will blend in as the brass darkens and matures, developing a rich bronze-colored finish. These characteristics are not imperfections but rather marks of authenticity, contributing to the distinctive allure and historical value of genuine vintage items.
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry right away, or dust with a dry cloth. For those who prefer a polished look, these pieces can also be polished to restore their original shine. Embrace the history and charm that each piece brings, knowing that its journey continues to add to its story.
