Is the original bow light a brass fixture which is chrome plated?

Not sure the base material is brass but it is chrome plated. It can be re-chromed. Why the question?

I contacted a company about refinishing it and they responded-

“If this is a bronze fixture, I could help you with it. From the photos, it appears that it may be bronze beneath the plating. You could sand/scratch the undersides to check. A yellowish color will tell you that it is a brass/bronze casting. If it is anything in the silver/gray color scheme, it is most like zinc die cast which I could not re-finish for you”

Any recommendations on where i can get it done?

The bow light is cast bronze and chrome-plated.

I meant bronze, not brass. Thanks.
