Brass Polished Unlacquered:

Raw polished brass.

This finish is unlacquered and consequently will patinate over time. For that reason we recommend not using this finish for exteriors.

A patinated finish develops on the metal and will give the brass an “aged” appearance. This colouration can be removed, if desired, with the use of an appropriate cleaning agent such as Brasso.
