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.

Are these the sort of things you mean ?

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.
