Definitely not! Outdoor lead objects may, over a period of decades, start to 'sag'. If this happens, consult a conservator who may be able to reshape the object or support it using armatures. These can be made of a variety of metals, commonly copper alloy, silver and gold, but also lead.
With medals, surface patination is very important, but unfortunately the surface is where the coin or medal will suffer damage from wear, and also chemical attack from corrosion processes. Do not use harsh chemical dips - these have been used in the past and as the surface is stripped, valuable detail is often lost.
In extreme cases, this treatment leaves behind a blank disc of metal, without historical or monetary value. As a sculptor I would like to warn people that any green patina or any other colour on bronze sculpture, or medals, is most often intentionally applied by the sculptor please realise that it would be detrimental to the art work if you polish bronze to a shinny gold finish this may well devalue your art.
So make sure before you polish you know what the original was intended to look like. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
