<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 1465445, member: 24754&quot;]No, the patina on that statue is beautiful. It is a deep, rich, attractive color that is even over the entire surface. Now, if there were some blueish green pitted blotches growing on the horses rear end, then yes, I would try to do something about that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not dislike oxidation for oxidation&#039;s sake. When it occurs as what is typically called &quot;patina&quot;, then that is one thing. When it occurs as corrosion, or when silver reacts with sulfur compounds to produce an uneven blackening, then to me that is something different. Removing (or better yet preventing) the later type discoloration is a step toward preserving the original intended appearance of the piece in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
