On
pewter, many people prefer to leave a dull gray patina. In the case
of low-glow pewter, a soap-and-water bath is the most maintenance its
finish ever needs. If you prefer a brighter shine rub with a Cape
Cod® Metal
Polishing Cloth.
Pewter is often displayed on oak but shouldn't be stored in a closed
cabinet or drawer, because the organic acids in oak or in untreated,
unseasoned woods promote pewter deterioration.  |
