Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Prescott

Arizona's first capital still has its hardware.

Prescott was the capital of Arizona Territory, and it kept its past. Hundreds of its buildings are on the National Register. Victorian houses line the streets near downtown, Whiskey Row faces the courthouse plaza, and antique shops fill the blocks around it. The air is cooler here, about a mile above sea level.

Old pieces need a careful hand, and they need good packing. Email photos from Prescott and we will send a written quote. Wrap each piece and ship by ground, usually a one to two business day trip. We repair, plate and inspect, and insure the return for the value of the work.

Homeowners restoring a Victorian write about door sets, hinges, registers and gas era light fixtures. Dealers send lamps and small antiques. Business owners downtown ask about back bar trim, railings and old cash registers.

What We Do

Plating Services in Prescott

Prescott loves period finishes: polished vintage nickel plating, antique brass plating, copper plating, hand built patinas and home decor restoration, plus silver plating for heirloom flatware.

Metal Plating Services in Prescott

Mortise locks, gas lamp fixtures and back bar brass.

Victorian hardware was made to be seen. Cast bronze knobs with patterns, steel hinges with decorative tips, plated lock plates. Years of paint and wear hide the detail. We strip it gently, repair what is worn and bring back a finish that suits the 1880s or 1900s, never a modern mirror unless you ask.

Commercial pieces downtown get constant use. Foot rails, door pulls and push plates are touched thousands of times a season. We polish or replate them and seal the surface. Because tourism slows in winter, that is when many Prescott businesses choose to send their metal.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. Stripping is the first step of almost every restoration. Paint, old lacquer and failed plating all come off, and then we can see the real condition of the metal and repair it before refinishing.

    Common finishes of that period were polished nickel, antique brass, copper and dark bronze tones. If you have one piece with original finish in a hidden spot, send it and we will match the rest to it.

    We refinish the metal parts: arms, canopies, chains and shade holders. Rewiring is not something we do, so plan on a lamp shop afterward. Remove glass before shipping.

    In sections, yes. Send the lengths and diameter, and we will advise on packing or freight. Brass and stainless rails are polished by hand and brass can be lacquered to slow tarnish.

    Photograph and number each piece and send them in one email. We quote them line by line. Pack every item in its own wrap inside a double wall box.

    Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.

    We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.

    Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
