Dear List:
I am responsible for cleaning a turn-of-the century art nouveau brass lamp.
It is in need of a good cleaning. I know that cleaning practices of brass
(and silver) seem to change from time to time, depending on the new findings
of conservation, and I want to be sure to be up to date. Any suggestions?
Please note that it has a marble base (which I want to protect as well) that
abutts some of the brass moldings and that it has a great deal of embossed
ornament that makes for lots of nooks and crannies.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
