How do I care for it?
Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and keep away from direct sunlight and damp. Care varies by material — wood, brass and clay each behave differently — so check the product page for anything specific.
Will it look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but not identical. Each piece is made by hand, so grain, colour and finish vary a little from one to the next.
How do I look after brass and metal pieces?
Brass develops a natural patina over time. If you prefer it bright, polish occasionally with a proper brass cleaner and keep it dry. Wipe up spills promptly to avoid water marks.
Why does my piece look slightly different from the photo?
Every item is handmade, so small variations in colour, size, texture and finish are natural. Screen calibration also affects how colours appear. These differences are a sign the piece was made by hand.
