I'm really zeroing in on the sources for these key props. Brass gears have to look lived in — not too shiny or fake. I found a corner shop with vintage clock parts that might yield the perfect pieces, but their stock is limited and unpredictable. For that wild mossy element, the garden center is promising, though freshness is a constant concern. Online suppliers offer consistency but lose that irreplaceable patina. It feels like walking a tightrope between authenticity and practical sourcing. Not quite nailed this yet.
Where can we source those props?
