Our most popular service is the cleaning, polishing and lacquering of brass, copper, silver and pewter.  Regular items include door and cabinet hardware, fireplace accessories, lamps & chandeliers, beds, teakettles, candlesticks, sconces and the occasional sink.  Refinishing of lighting fixtures always include rewiring.   

    Naturally, a bright finish is not always desirable, in which case we can produce brushed, satin and antique finishes from soft muted tones to a deep oil rubbed bronze.  Whether we simply polish and lacquer a doorknocker or an elegant nineteenth century chandelier, each item is given the same careful consideration to proper restoration procedure.
