We recommend Renaissance Wax, which was developed by the British Museum in the 1950s and is still used today to protect artefacts in the world’s major museums and art galleries. To restore the original shine to your item, copper and brass can be polished gently with a soft polishing cloth and waxed to reduce oxidisation. Copper and brass patinas vary in colour from a deep charcoal to vibrant turquoise, making each item beautifully distinct. Over time the metal will naturally oxidise, developing a rich, dark patina that is unique to your touch. Our products are crafted from solid copper or brass. Each item is unique, and no two items will have precisely the same tone or markings. We hope that this information will help you to enjoy them for many years.Īll of our products are made by hand, using a combination of traditional and modern techniques.
