Lamp Restoration - Have I damaged the brass finish?
Hi DIY, I think that this is the right place to post this (apologies if not). I've recently bought a vintage brass lamp, and I'm restoring it. I've got the rewiring sorted but the brass was heavily tarnished. I bought some Bistro brass cleaner and followed the instructions but the brass was cleaning up very unevenly and now I fear I've damaged it completely. I think it's solid brass, not brass plated, but the finish is very uneven and in some places it's come up very pale and I'm worried I've done some permanent damage. I've uploaded some images here: https://imgur.com/a/Nd5uVkB Many thanks in advance! submitted by /u/statsnoviceinneed [link] [comments]
