Beautifully done, especially the first one! The magnificent burl and antique bolsters REALLY work together.

Fantastic! How do you get the brass to look cracked like that, if you don't mind my asking?

Thank you, Alex177.
I cover the detail with quickly drying paint. Then I scratch the paint with a sharp needle. After that I scrape out the scratched places electrochemically with current 12V DC and electrolyte. Then I wipe the paint.I repeat the manipulation repeatedly until I like the result.
After that I darken the detail with cold gun oxidation.
