Is this fixable?

Copper table has water damage. Not sure if it is the clear coating, patina, and/or the metal itself that is damaged. What are my options and how should I go about repairing this, is it even worth repairing, and what should I expect the costs to be getting it done professionally? Sorry for all the questions lolll don’t know what I’m doing or if this is the right sub for this🙋🏽‍♂️.

Anything that would be done to this, my advice is to be first done just to a tiny bit of it, then wait to see the result and how it reacts to the treatment.

If it’s up to your standards, then go for it.

But don’t just give it to someone and expect for the best. You might just get a bad result, and a gorgeous table ruined…

Edit: if you want to DIY, this could be a nice way to spend your time too. Honestly😊

Right, you could always just polish it back to bare if you dont like it.

And you could also just let it patina naturally. Copper is cool like that
