Plated chrome can rust, Powder chrome oxidizes and looses its shine. On something that will be indoors, you can get away without clearing it. Temperature fluctuation and humidity levels will directly effect how fast it will oxidize. You could probably do fine with a good coat of wax to fix that problem.
