I am afraid that since the tassell and cord were not attached, I reverted to
a modern method and cleaned them with plain old jewelry dip...brightened,

How interesting! :-)
Might anyone have any idea on how it was cleaned in the Middle Ages?

The latest novelty i have heard about cleaning goldwork is to use

But where to get these brushes, i have not got any ideas.
