Bronze:
Bronze products will patina, particularly at points of contact, and can include a variety of tonal changes. Bronze will also naturally darken and may develop verdigris depending on its environment. If there is a desire to restore the product to its original appearance, a light application of metal polish, followed by a beeswax protectant will achieve this.
Patinated Bronze:
This oil rubbed finish will wear over time to expose the bronze underneath and will feature lighter areas at points of contact where the bronze has been rubbed back to a golden tone. Water and chemical-based cleaners, soaps or abrasive materials will damage the finish and should not be used. We recommend cleaning with a soft lint-free cloth, followed by a beeswax protectant. As the finish is unlacquered, regular application of the wax will be necessary to prolong the original patinated finish.
Aluminium:
These products can be restored to their original appearance with a light application of metal polish, followed by a beeswax protectant. Consider a silver toned polish to enhance lustre.
