I have an antique dresser,
with several 3.5in "swan neck" bail pull handles missing.

I can't locate anyone selling these in "antiqued" brass,
but have found them in bright brass.

I'm wondering if these would look like the old handles
after several years?
Or if there is any amateur way to make them look antique?

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

Check they are not lacquered, and leave for a bit.
