About Bronze
Bronze is a metal alloy produced by blending copper and tin in various amounts. Additional elements such as manganese, lead, and phosphorous are added to create bronze with specific properties. One of the more unique properties of bronze is the natural patina that forms on it, turning the bronze a dark, dull color. This patina also provides a protective layer, preventing oxidation below the surface of the bronze.
Care and Maintenance of Bronze Bookends
Bronze bookends should be kept clean with a soft cloth, and can be waxed every couple of years to renew the patina, but it should not be heavily polished or scrubbed, and abrasives should never be used on bronze. If the bronze becomes very dirty, it can be gently brushed or washed with a solution of one tablespoon of salt to three quarts of boiling water, as long as the bronze is rinsed clean and dried afterwards.

"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."
