Materials

Brass sculptures are typically made from a copper-zinc alloy, which gives them durability, a warm golden hue, and corrosion resistance. They may be:

• Polished brass – Shiny and reflective, but prone to tarnishing.
• Patinated brass – Treated with chemicals for an aged or colored finish.
• Lacquered brass – Coated to prevent oxidation and reduce maintenance.

Care & Maintenance

1. Regular Dusting

• Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or feather duster to remove dust.
• Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.

2. Cleaning

• For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth, then dry immediately.
• For stubborn grime, mix mild soap with warm water, gently clean with a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly.

3. Tarnish Removal (Unlacquered Brass)

• Apply a brass cleaner (like Brasso) or a natural mix of lemon juice and baking soda.
• Gently rub with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry completely.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface.

4. Protection Against Tarnish

• Keep in a dry, low-humidity environment.
• Apply a thin coat of wax (like Renaissance Wax) for extra protection.

5. Avoid Harsh Conditions

• Keep brass sculptures away from direct sunlight, moisture, and acidic substances to prevent discoloration.
• If displayed outdoors, use a clear protective lacquer to slow oxidation.
