Guidance on Looking After Copper Art
The unique copper sculptures and other copper art installations in our collection need to be maintained if they are to continue looking their best. Maintenance work is minimal, but you should know that wiping copper art with a lint-free cloth regularly will be advisable. Humid conditions can lead to oxidization so try to avoid them when displaying such pieces. When cleaning, avoid the use of harsh chemicals. Soap and water is usually more than enough to keep copper art looking good. Acidic cleaners, in particular, can damage the pleasant patina on copper works of art.
Depending on the piece, applying micro-crystalline wax can be beneficial since this will seal the surface invisibly, thereby protecting it while maintaining its shine. We can provide specialized advice on the sort of copper sculptures and copper wall décor that'd be most suited to this sort of protection.
Copper Art Installations for All Kinds of Settings
Whether you are viewing our copper art installations online or in person at our San Francisco gallery – viewing may be arranged by appointment – a common thread that connects all our pieces, large and small, is their ability to say something.Depending on the context of where any particular copper artwork is displayed, its size, and its form, it will generate a talking point. Just like our wooden artwork collection, for example, this means that we have varied copper pieces that are examples of fine art as well as some functional items, such as incense stick holders, for instance, or even some devotional copper sculptures.
