Need cleaning/polishing of small brass tea table

I have a small brass tea table which I would like cleaned and polished. I have searched out local establishments and one in Baltimore and have been given a price of $325-$350 to do the work. There are few pieces to clean and nothing fancy. Where can I find brass cleaning at a reasonable price?

Ed. note: Hopefully you will be contacted by someone offering a more attractive price, Eileen. But please remember that this will involve chemically stripping the existing lacquer, manually buffing every inch of it, and then re-lacquering. It's been a while since I've been able to get even the simplest car repair for under $325, and that's standard work, not custom. Good luck!
