Should I polish copper tea set??

Would you recommend I clean these up before trying to sell them (together) in my case at the antique mall, or would that ruin the precious patina?

Thanks for all opinions.

 

Ohhhhh, I like that color,,,, to me , classy look!!!

 

Normally Im in the polish it up crowd,but this has such a lovely even color Id leave it be.

 

Agree. Consider it patina. A bright finish will cheapen the appearance of the pieces and reduce their appeal. IMHO.

Coffee, not tea and I’d leave it unpolished.

It's unanimous!

Thanks for the correction and ID anundverkaufen.

 

Personally, Id leave it alone, i lke the patina. That said, possibly, just possibly, though a purist would prefer it as it is, a magpie of a buyer, however, might be more attracted to it all nice and shiny. They like shiny things!
But personally, I'd leave it.

 

I am a Magpie, I like things shiny. This will look like those Mauviel pans. With the handles in a different colour.
You can try and put a price and see if it sells at your price, otherwise next option to polish it up.

 

That's a good idea Roshan Ko-- I'll leave it unpolished for now and can always shine it up later if it doesn't sell.

 

In the US, the preference is generally to leave it be.
