Hi Folks, Do you have any idea of where I can buy small brass
decorations like these in the photo [link below]? These are from
a mid-to-late 1800s clock. They appear to be stamped out of thin brass
sheet (not cast). I need them for a restoration project I'm planning.
I can buy some of the simple shapes (filigree flowers, fans, etc.) but
I'd like to find some of the more complicated shapes like the ones with
red arrows.
I suppose I can make some molds and cast a few in urethane and then
paint them, but I'd rather buy some real ones. Although I've used
gilding powders, brass/gold leaf, and metallic spray paints, they don't
really look like metal! Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Craig Smith
