The answer is no, not really. Techniques used to clean silver pretty much take the patina off. Techniques and products used to put patina on, in other words to make something look older than it is, do exist, but are noticeable to someone who is used to looking at patina.

Patina is the result of time and environment. Manipulating it is probably possible, but in the end why do it?






Thank you for your reply!

I understand. Somtimes, in several orders have nice look patina, so i just wondered how do they made.




Actually, I have main question about order document repairing.
If the order book's page is torn because of rusted stapler, how can i restick it?
I tried use some glue before, that was bad. What is the best methoed you think?
