Can I turn a brass letter box into a chrome one with e.g. electroplating

So, we had to change our locks on the front door of our new house. I wanted all of the door 'furniture' to match with new light sockets etc. so I opted for chrome. I wanted shiney chrome but locksmith only had brushed chrome. I had assumed we'd change the letter box in due course when we get around to painting the door but only today I realised that it is a quite gorgeous Art Deco piece.

Is there a way to turn it silver/chrome. Could it be electroplated for example?

yes it could be chrome plated and there are lots of firms who will do it for you .... downside is it would cost you about 70 quid and you might not be ever so happy with the match you end up with to your other door furniture
