Can brass plated steel be Victorian? is it safe to darken the brass without damaging the plating?
I have bought some 'Victorian' brass stair rods. One of the finials fell off the end and the rod is a hollow tube of steel that has a thin brass plating. Is this a Victorian construction? seemed a bit unlikely to me. Any advice would be appreciated.
The second part of my question is how to darken the brass when it is only a thin brass plating? all the methods I have seen are for solid brass.
Well, they certainly could have made those plated rods during the Victorian era, the technology is nothing new. I don't know anyway to give you a definitive answer on this. On the darkening, I would just do the normal method, the brass is really bonded with the steel. First test it on a small section.
