How should I clean an antique brass handbag?
I just bought this bag and it has that distinct metal smell to it. I wonder if that scent can be reduced somehow through a type of cleaning or if the bag isn’t intended to be washed at all. However, if it requires professional cleaning, does anybody have any suggestions for businesses in the Los Angeles area that do that type of work?
The following links are of similar bags to help you visualize what mine looks like:

Metal objects are going to smell like metal.
