The key difference between unlacquered brass and polished brass lies in their finish and how they age over time:
Unlacquered Brass: This is brass without a protective coating. It develops a natural patina over time, giving it an aged, antique look. This "living finish" changes with exposure to air, moisture, and touch, making it ideal for those who appreciate a vintage or evolving aesthetic.
Polished Brass: This has a lacquered or sealed coating, which preserves its shiny, golden appearance and prevents tarnishing. It requires less maintenance to keep its polished look but lacks the character of natural aging
