What exactly is antiquing?
The antiquing is the result of various submersion times in our solutions. As used here, it is also the same word as patina. The solutions age the copper mailbox or brass mailbox in a very short time span whereas the same ageing without the solution would take many years. Tell me about the lacquer. All of our lacquered mailboxes receive a non-tinted clear gloss lacquer . The coat preserves the luster of the engraved lines and protects the rest of the copper or brass mailbox from smudge marks. This is why we lacquer some of the non-engraved mailboxes also. That way, you the customer always has choices. The lacquer we use is highly water, chemical, and UV resistant.
