It has a lovely patina, like one sees on antique brass or bronze objects (if memory serves, brass is a copper/zinc alloy, and bronze is a copper/tin alloy). This plate does not look like painted iron at all. Could it be cast iron which was plated with brass or bronze? I guess I should have taken some pictures of it. --Paul Mulik ----- Original Message ----- > I own a 1900 Bechstein grand. It has a traditional cast iron plate.
