Bronze is synonymous with durability and requires minimal upkeep.  Wash sculpture with a non-ionic soap such as Simple Green. With a pure boar bristle brush, apply a Carnauba wax (all available at any hardware store.)  Be careful the wax doesn't collect in the recesses.  Let dry for 5 minutes. Buff with a soft cloth to desired shine, indoors once a year, outdoors two times a year.
      The patinas on bronze are sensitive to, and can react with the environment.  Moisture can cause oxidation, ultraviolet rays of direct sun can dull the patination, and heat can melt protective wax coatings.

All artwork is hand-finished.

All patinas, by their nature, vary slightly and will age based upon climatic placement.

Occasional irregularities and shadings should not be regarded as defects, but as characteristic of the processes that give the artwork its beauty and dramatic movement.
