How to make a brass table chrome silver!

I have a pair of glass topped solid brass tables that have a high polish brass finish. I would like to figure out the best possible way to refinish the gold brass color to be high polish chrome silver finish instead. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Plating something with silver or chrome is not a do-it-youself project. A plating shop can do it though. Silver would be very pretty, but tarnish prevention and removal might be overwhelming. Nickel-chrome plating would leave you with a durable and low maintenance finish.
