Brass Furniture
Description of Goods
While we strive to provide 100% accurate descriptions of our products, achieving absolute precision in measurements, colors, and shapes can be challenging for certain items. As our luxury handcrafted furniture is crafted and finished by hand, slight variations may occur. The photographic representation of the products may not perfectly match the actual item.
Due to the lost wax casting process used in our brass furniture, natural characteristics such as surface variations and faint pin-sized marks are intrinsic to brass crafted through this method.
Product Care
Brass is an exceptionally durable material, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. However, sharp objects may scratch the surface patina. Over time, brass will naturally oxidize and lose its shine, particularly in coastal or high-salinity environments. This aging process is a natural characteristic of handcrafted brass and can be easily reversed.
We offer two finishes for our brass furniture: Polished Brass (Gold) and Matte Black.
- Matte Black: This finish is completely maintenance-free and retains its original appearance over time.
- Polished Brass: To preserve the authenticity of the material, we intentionally avoid applying a lacquer coating. This allows you to easily restore its original shine whenever needed. Simply use a metal polish cream and gently buff the surface with a clean, soft cloth.
Acacia Wood Furniture
Description of Goods
Each piece of solid acacia wood furniture is one of a kind, with its own natural colors, shades, and grain patterns. Features such as cracks, knots, holes, or splits are not imperfections but inherent characteristics that highlight the authenticity of real wood and the artisan craftsmanship behind our luxury handcrafted furniture.
Over time, natural movement between wood planks may occur due to changes in weather, environment, and humidity. This is expected in solid wood and reflects its living nature.
Product Care
To maintain the beauty of your acacia wood furniture:
- Wipe up spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid harsh chemicals; use mild soapy water or a wood-specific cleaner, wiping along the grain.
- For rough finishes, use a soft cloth or brush rather than synthetic materials.
- Protect surfaces with coasters or pads, and avoid dragging objects across the furniture.
- Keep your furniture indoors, away from direct sunlight and excess moisture to prevent fading, cracking, or mold.
Routine Maintenance
- Clean regularly and check hardware for any loosening.
- For minor stains, gently use a baking soda paste if needed.
- Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners to preserve the natural elegance of your luxury handmade pieces.
Bronze Statues/Figurines/Fountains
Description of Goods
While we strive to provide 100% accurate descriptions of our products, achieving absolute precision in measurements, colors, and shapes can be challenging for certain items. As our bronze art product is crafted and finished by hand, slight variations may occur. The photographic representation of the products may not perfectly match the actual item.
Due to the lost wax casting process used in our brass furniture, natural characteristics such as surface variations and faint pin-sized marks, that are intrinsic to bronze crafted through this method, contributing to the unique, organic style that defines our pieces.
Product Care
Aging & Oxidation
Because bronze contains a high amount of copper, it naturally oxidizes over time when exposed to the elements:
- Bronze will slowly develop a green patina, aging into a Verdi Green tone.
- Green will deepen into a darker green hue as it continues to oxidize.
This natural aging process gives each piece a unique character over time.
Maintenance & Care
To maintain the original appearance of your bronze fountain or sculpture, regular care is essential.
The most effective method is waxing, which:
- Helps remove surface oxidation and dirt
- Protects the bronze from moisture and environmental exposure
- Preserves the finish and sheen
Which Wax to Use:
- Use Brown Wax for Bronze finishes
- Use Clear Wax for Green finishes
- We recommend Kiwi Wax, though other waxes specifically designed for bronze care are also suitable.
How Often to Wax:
- Several times per year is ideal
- Wax more frequently in humid climates or during extreme weather conditions
How to Apply Wax
- Apply Wax: Use a paintbrush to apply a thin, even coat of wax. Focus on detailed areas that may trap dirt or moisture.
- Let It Set: Allow the wax to sit for a few minutes.
- Polish: Buff the surface with a clean rag or electric buffer until a natural shine appears.
- Repeat if Needed: If oxidation is still visible, reapply wax and polish again.
Teak Products
Description of Goods
Teak is a premium hardwood prized for its durability, natural beauty, and rich history in fine furniture making.
- One of a kind. Every piece has its own natural grain, color variation, and density. Knots, mineral streaks, and subtle surface marks aren't flaws, they're proof of authentic wood and true artisan craftsmanship.
- Naturally durable. Rich in natural oils, teak resists moisture, insects, termites, and decay, making it ideal for both indoor pieces and long-term outdoor use.
- Ages beautifully. With exposure to light and air, teak's warm tone will deepen or soften over time, a natural process that reflects its living character.
- Responsibly sourced. Our teak is sourced through DEESAWAT from sustainable, responsibly managed forests with FSC certification. DEESAWAT also upholds Green Industry standards, Circular Mark principles, and Carbon Footprint awareness, supporting sustainable manufacturing while preserving the premium quality and natural beauty teak is known for.
Product Care
To maintain the beauty of your teak products:
- Dusting. Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the surface clean.
- Cleaning. Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap when needed, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking the wood.
- Oil treatment. Apply teak oil every 6 to 12 months for outdoor pieces to maintain color and protect against moisture. Skip this step if you prefer a natural silvery patina to develop over time.
- Sun exposure. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight indoors, as this may cause uneven fading.
- Heat and flame. Keep away from open flame and direct heat sources.
- Cleaning products. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners.
- Electrical pieces. Clean only the wood surface, and never expose wiring or the base to liquid.
Teakwood naturally changes to a silver-grey color over time when exposed to sun and rain. This is a normal aging process and does not reduce the wood's durability. If you'd like to restore the original warm teak tone, the surface can be lightly sanded and treated with teak oil to bring back the rich color and natural grain.
