About Brass
Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper and is stronger and more durable than copper, although not as strong as metals like steel. Other metals are sometimes added to the alloy include lead to make brass more workable by machine, tin, arsenic, and antimony to resist corrosion, and iron to make the brass harder and easier to forge. Brass tends to be highly subject to corrosion therefore most brass bookends are lacquered to resist corrosion.
Caring for Brass Bookends
Never use highly abrasive cleaners on brass bookends, as they can scratch them. Use a specialized brass polish in very small amounts to lay a thin layer of protection on the brass, and buff it out. Should your brass bookends become tarnished, use vinegar or ammonia to lift the tarnish, or use a mixture of lemon and salt to gently rub it out before polishing.

"I just received the Burlwood Horsehead Bookends I’m giving my Nephews girlfriend for Christmas. They are stunning! The quality is beyond anything I have ever seen. She will absolutely love these. You can bet that I will be shopping with you for many years to come as I decorate the family cabin in New York and our home in Pennsylvania."
