So I got an email this week from a long time customer who said how much she missed the shop and how no wraps like we did! We did love to wrap pretty packages and it reminded me of a lecture done at the shop 35+ years ago! for the Junior League. I found the hand out (that alone was a huge task for those who have seen my office😂) and hope it may help! ❤️

I was asked to do a talk on cleaning antique metals - specifically silver and copper. It was interesting to me how many people hate to polish - I enjoy it oddly enough - to me very satisfying to see a piece go from tarnished and dirty to shined and bright. I will admit my best copper polishing happens during football season as I stack up what needs to be done in the kitchen and polish while I watch!!!! Needless to say my personal copper looks great in the fall and goes downhill from there! Unless I have a party and then I go into panic mode! Kitchen copper always needs more attention especially if used constantly - my pots and pans are copper and hung out on display so the pressure to keep shiny is a constant. I will post a picture after a few football games!!!! Favorite polish for copper - if very dirty - Wrights Copper Cleaner - and I also use Bar Keepers Friend for daily cleanups. The powder is non abrasive and does a great job on brass as well.

Ever had a stopper stuck? Especially when the glass and stopper has frosted edges it can be tough. With antique glass you need to be careful but it can be done with a bit of patience! Immerse the bottle up to the just below stopper line in water and then slowly add hot water until hot to touch - let sit 15 minutes - the bottle should feel warm stopper not- then slowly emerse stopper in a bowl of cold ice water - stopper only - for a few minutes until cool to touch. With a wooden spoon SLOWLY pry up the stopper - it may take several try’s but this always works! Antique glass can be fragile but cut glass like this Victorian small jam jar - is a bit sturdier - remember- patience!!!!if the rim is narrow with tea towel in hand again slowly pull up on stopper. I’ve done this with success also on antique perfume bottles - but again patience and do not try to rock stopper-pull straight up!

I’m asked about silver polish a lot. Other than Silvo which is also a favorite (waiting on a new order or is show the can) Goddards is the ONLY polish I’ve used for 40 years. Period and I’ve tried them all! If a company has been in business as long as most of these antique silver pieces are old (established in 1839)then good enough for me!

The before and after - it’s a rainy day so perfect to catch up on polishing which quite honestly I enjoy. These are a lovely pair of English Thomas Blakemore silverplate candlesticks. If not familiar with this company - started in 1847 and still manufactures today. High quality metalwares. These heavy silverplate candlesticks date from the 1970s and are lovely reproductions of 19th c ones!
