I would think these flutes could be milled into the brass, and then the item can be nickel-chrome electroplated, although the sharp corners of the flutes are probably poor practice in the "Design for Plating" department :-)
But when a problem is urgent you need to hire a consultant, not wait for a public forum answer; there is no guarantee that anyone will volunteer the information you need ever, let alone in timely fashion :-)
Good luck!

Q. The most difficulty is not milling the flute, it is how to make sure precision in buffing & polishing process?
