[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1700456, member: 85"]Have you washed it yet? Don't use any kind of rough material. A sponge or very soft cloth, not a rag tee shirt they tend to scratch silver. I have the feeling what you are looking at is tarnish and not copper. Tarnish is not always black. Hot water and soap. Then on the back try a spot with silver polish. If it is indeed silver plate, be careful not to let the polish dry in the crevices of the scroll edges.[/QUOTE]
