Hi there
I have an antique box with engraved brass handles (see photo). My question is, how has the engraver managed to create the almost black highlighted shading within the engraved incisions?
I have seen normal engraving where the incisions simply have a different textured finish, but not so they look highlighted in black like this example.
Can anyone explain this process to me?
Many thanks
