I have a pair of[Lunor frames](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/84/9f/ca/849fca19a4a5a43e50770ad54780e17b.jpg) that are beginning to show their age. How would I go about getting them refurbished so they looked new again?

Perhaps look for a place that restores art objects? Or a metal plater if they just need that.

If you don’t know of or can’t find a good art restorer, I’d ask at a pawn shop or other type of used-goods seller. They’ve probably encountered issues like that before. Maybe an instrument shop?

A jeweler might be able to refer you somewhere.
