<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 78785, member: 60"]I actually purchased this as a gift but changed my mind and I'm going to sell it. Is this faux bamboo? How would you suggest cleaning it or should I just dust and leave it alone? I'm going to leave the brass alone but will remove a few tiny green spots of old polish. </p><p><br /></p><p>Other questions I could use some help with - Can anyone decipher the Asian Text? I know Brevete means Patented in French but is this a French piece? Are those other marks makers marks? Coat of Arms - real or decorative?
