Polished Brass



Hi all, For those who are still interested this looks
like the full works, sorry its a bit mangled by
transcription but if you have Internet you can go
back to the original.  There's also an e-mail address
for enq. at the bottom.

I had to crop it as it was too big for this
circulation.

 By Stephen Ball, Jaine Chandler and Peter Winsor
 Many metal objects carry high degree of finish that
is intrinsic to
their
 appeal. The more spectacular of these are made or
plated with a
precious
 metal, notably gold or silver, but many other metals
are used in a
 polished or burnished condition. Although objects
made from
non-precious
 metals are less obviously 'valuable', they may have
considerable
 historical or personal value. Coins and medals are
examples of
interesting
 and collectable objects that are not always composed
of precious
metals.
 This fact sheet concentrates on two principal
examples: silver,
because it
 is a commonly used precious metal that is at the same
time fairly
 reactive, and thus frequently encountered polished
metal objects. The
 techniques described here can often be adapted for
other highly
finished
 metal objects. If you are in any doubt then consult a
conservator.
