This product is cast from very high quality solid brass and is given a classic look with it's finish. All of our Polished Brass products are manufactured to the highest standards and come un-lacquered so to retain the original finish. Regular polishing with a good quality metal polish is essential. However, if the intention is to allow the surface to age through oxidization, no attention needs to be given. Over time the brass will acquire a darker and more aged patina. Sold as a set and supplied with necessary fixing screws and pins. Finished in Polished Brass - for more information see the finishes guide here.
