<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9841778, member: 10944"]I think the gold/bronze areas you’re seeing are remnants on a “bronzing” process. Bronzed metal/spelter was a good way to get a nice looking thing without the cost of solid brass. Like gold or silver plating but with a bronze finish. Nice piece. Maybe you can figure out a way to lamp it or find an old candle stick/candle holder piece that will bolt to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
