Materials we routinely work with include: sterling and coin silver, bronze, brass, copper, Old Sheffield fused plate, silver plated white metal, copper (EPC) and nickle (EPNS), pot metal/spelter/cast zinc, ormolu, paktong, lead, and pewter.
* gold plating is available on brass, silver, bronze, and copper items up to 5" in diameter or 6" long. The gold plating can be coated with matte lacquer to imitate the "dead colour" of original fire gilded ormolu, otherwise the gold plating will be a high polish.
This is just a start, so don't be afraid to
call Mark Erdmann
and ask if your specific metal restoration need isn't listed!
