Use only a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical polishes which can strip the natural antique patina that our artisans spend weeks developing.

Never use water to wash bronze or brass. If liquid spills on the piece, blot it immediately with a dry cloth. Prolonged exposure to humidity may accelerate natural oxidation (verdigris).

Marble is highly porous. Keep away from colored liquids, oils, and acidic substances (like citrus or vinegar) which can permanently etch or stain the pristine white surface.

While marble tolerates light well, items with intricate gold-leaf painting or gemstone inlays should be kept out of direct, harsh sunlight to prevent the organic pigments from fading.

Wood expands and contracts with humidity. Keep wooden models in climate-controlled environments. Avoid placing them directly beneath air conditioning vents or next to fireplaces.

Once a year, lightly apply a museum-grade microcrystalline wax using a soft brush to nourish the wood and maintain its deep, rich luster. Avoid aerosol dusting sprays.
