Brass is considered a strong and durable metal crafted to be long-lasting and withstand rust and corrosion. Shop a selection of antique and vintage brass items on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To shine brass candlesticks, first determine whether they’re lacquered or brass-plated. If so, shine them with a soft cloth. If not, use a high quality brass polish according to directions — wash the brass in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. You'll find a variety of solid brass candlesticks from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Do brass beds tarnish?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, a brass bed will tarnish unless it is properly cared for and lacquered. To prevent tarnishing, you can use linseed oil with a soft terry towel. On 1stDibs, you can find antique brass beds from top sellers around the world.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can tell if brass is treated to appear antique by looking at the patina. Because real aged brass is often made of copper, the older it gets the more likely it is to have a greenish or bluish patina that you’d expect from copper. Modern brass that’s designed to look antique will have a brownish hue, not a blue-green one. Shop a collection of antique brass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To refurbish brass candlesticks, start by removing any wax. Then, combine one tablespoon of salt with a half cup of white vinegar and mix in white flour to create a paste. Use a soft cloth to cover the entire candlestick with the substance. Let it rest for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and drying with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage brass candlesticks.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Most antique brass items are solid brass. A great way of identifying solid brass antiques is by using a magnet. If you feel a pull, then the item is brass plated and not solid brass. Additionally, few brass antiques display stamps or maker's marks to depict the place and year of manufacturing. Find antique and vintage brass furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- What color is antique brass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021Antique brass color is a shade mix of a rich, deep brown with golden undertones. The warm, low-luster finish is similar to natural brass. Check out 1stDibs for a range of antique brass decorative objects, furniture, pendants, and much more.
- Is a gong made out of brass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, gongs are made out of brass. The percussion instrument can also be made out of bronze and many other types of alloys. You can shop a collection of Chinese and antique gongs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is brass used in weapons?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In some cases, yes. Brass is a metal that was used for gun bullets. However, the metal is malleable and at the time of its discovery, weapons were already being made of stronger iron and steel. You can find a selection of brass weaponry from some of the world’s top enthusiasts on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024To tell the difference between brass and copper, study the color of the item carefully. Brass is a yellowish-red color that is similar to gold. As it ages, it usually develops a brown patina. On the other hand, copper looks redder when new and usually turns greenish with age. If color alone isn't enough to determine the material of a piece, consult an expert who can perform additional testing. Explore a variety of copper and brass wares on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To clean a brass fire surround, mix equal parts flour, salt and vinegar to make a paste. Then rub the mixture onto brass and wipe off. Repeat the process with one tablespoon salt and two tablespoons vinegar in one pint of warm water. Shop a selection of brass fire surrounds on 1stDibs.
