Description
Raw brass will vary in color, and is not as shiny as most plated finishes.
For an antiqued look, try an oxidizing solution such as Win-Ox™. Or, to make your raw brass items shinier, tumble-polish them with steel shot, water and a burnishing compound (to prevent rust on the shot) in a basic rock tumbler. Rinse well and dry with some agitation (a heat lamp, warm boxwood sawdust or other method will speed drying.)
