Bronze Care Instructions by Caroline Carpio

Dust you bronze with a plain soft cloth.  If the shine is getting dull, hand polish with a plain soft t-shirt.

Do not use chemicals such as furniture polish or glass cleaner.

Color will slightly oxidize over the years to a darker tone.

To slow the rate of oxidation, avoid direct sunlight.

Note: Beads are part of the bronze and hand painted to look like turquoise beads.  There are sealed with a finish.  Do not hand polish beads as it may cause paint to rub off.
