[QUOTE="Lavrentii, post: 9791056, member: 80422"]Hi community! Some interesting story for you here :) These door handles passed through me almost two years ago. I saw them at a flea market and couldn't pass them by. I feel sorry only when I see broken things, or things repaired completely incorrectly. In this case, I was not sorry, because I knew that there was a small diamond hidden behind the paint. There were about 8 layers of paint on them of different colors and ages. I cannot know why they were completely painted, but perhaps during some crisis or war they were hidden from unwanted eyes in this way. Either way, I love giving old items a second chance. And he restored them completely, leaving a little patina where it was possible and appropriate in my opinion. If you are interested, [URL='https://youtu.be/KLvbP1RB2gw?si=d00GF0Yitl0Rnzb7']I invite you to watch the restoration process[/URL] on my YouTube channel. I rarely filmed before, but I’m glad that this material has been preserved. [ATTACH=full]485071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485073[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
