Brass and bronze take light differently from plated finishes. They hold a warmer reflection, and on cast or hand-worked pieces the surface records the process: a foundry pour, a weld, a hammered edge.
Here that ranges from Dodo Arslan's Dragon for Terzani, cast in Tuscany by the lost-wax method, to fine brass chain hung in hundreds of lengths and the golden bronze caps on Masiero's glass. Where a piece is offered in several metals, each finish is shown on the product page at its own price.
