  • STORAGE + HANDLING

    • Always handle your sculpture with clean, dry hands or wear protective gloves to prevent transferring oils or dirt onto the surface.

    • Support the sculpture from its structural points rather than delicate or extended elements when lifting or moving.

    • If storing, keep the sculpture in its original packaging and place it in a climate-controlled space away from moisture and direct sunlight.

    • Ensure a stable environment with moderate temperature and humidity levels to prevent material expansion or deterioration.

    INSTALLATION + DISPLAY

    • Each sculpture has its own unique mounting method and options. Your sculpture will arrive with detailed hanging instructions and the necessary hardware.

    • Customer Responsibility: It is the responsibility of the customer to properly hang the artwork. Any damage resulting from improper installation is the sole responsibility of the customer.

    • Professional Assistance: If you are unsure about the installation process, we strongly recommend hiring a professional art installer to ensure secure and proper mounting.

    • Wall Mounting: Your sculpture may include integrated hanging hardware or require specialized mounting hardware. Follow the included instructions carefully.

    • Weight Support: Ensure that your wall and mounting hardware can support the sculpture’s full weight. We recommend securing it to wall studs or using heavy-duty anchors.

    • Placement Considerations:

      • Avoid installing in high-traffic areas where it may be bumped or brushed against.

      • Keep away from direct sunlight, which may cause fading or material degradation over time.

      • Avoid locations with extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity, such as near radiators, fireplaces, or bathrooms.

    • Tip: If unsure about proper installation, contact us or consult a professional art installer for secure mounting.

    CLEANING + MAINTENANCE

    • Use only canned air to gently remove dust. Hold the can at a safe distance to avoid dislodging delicate elements.

    • Do not use cloths, brushes, water, or any cleaning solutions, as they may cause damage.

    • If concerned about dust accumulation, consider a custom acrylic display case for protection.

    CUSTOM ACRYLIC DISPLAY OPTION

    • A custom acrylic display case can be requested to further protect and showcase your sculpture.

    • This protective covering helps shield the artwork from dust, direct contact, and environmental factors while maintaining visibility.

    • Custom displays are designed to best showcase each sculpture and are built with a white panel support for a clean and elegant presentation.

    • Additional cost applies—please contact us for pricing and customization options.

    NATURAL MATERIALS & EXPECTED CHANGES

    • Many sculptures incorporate natural materials such as wood slices and branches, which are inherently delicate.

    • Over time, slight cracking, changes in texture, and natural shedding of bark may occur. This is a normal process and an inherent part of the artwork’s evolving nature.

    • These organic variations enhance the unique character of the piece and should be embraced as part of its life cycle.

    LONG-TERM PRESERVATION

    • This sculpture is strictly intended for indoor display only. It is not suitable for outdoor or semi-exposed installations, and no protective coatings are applied or recommended.

    • If repairs or restoration are necessary, consult us or a professional art conservator or contact us for recommendations.
