What finishes can Moradabad exporters do?

Antique brass, nickel, copper, gold, black, powder coat, enamel and PVD are all common.

Is solid brass more expensive than brass-plated iron?

Yes. Solid brass costs more but lasts longer and can be re-polished; plated iron or aluminium is lighter and cheaper.

How do I stop tarnish in transit?

Ask for lacquer protection, anti-tarnish paper, silica gel and sealed poly bags.
