Stiffel Lamp part repair

This lamp part was broken in half.  The alloy it was made from did not like to be soldered.  It was
also brass plated.

This repair called for assembling and reinforcing the parts with epoxy.   I finished the piece with a technique I have perfected that allows me to plate over epoxied repairs as the picture below illustrates.
