Air Pump
Hold a hand air-pump blower 20–30 cm from the surface and use short, gentle bursts to lift dust from ridges and crevices — without touching the artwork.

Art Care Guide
Caring for your artwork
Handcrafted surfaces are made to last a lifetime. A few gentle habits — and the right four tools — will keep your artwork as it was on the day it arrived.
Microfiber Cloth
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the frame in one direction. Never apply water, sprays or polish to the frame or the artwork.
Frame only · weekly
Long Soft Brush
A long-handled, very soft brush (goat hair or similar) lets you sweep dust from the surface with the lightest possible touch, following the direction of the texture.
Textured surface · monthly
Hard Brush
Where appropriate, a firmer brush can clear settled dust from frame corners and mouldings. Keep it strictly away from the artwork surface.
Frame corners · as needed
Always
- Hang away from direct sunlight, heaters and air-conditioning vents.
- Keep in a room with stable humidity, ideally 40–60%.
- Handle the artwork by its frame, with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves.
- Use two people and the fitted hardware when re-hanging large works.
- Keep your Certificate of Authenticity and care card with the artwork.
Never
- Apply water, cleaning sprays, polish or solvents to the surface.
- Press, rub or wipe the textured surface with a cloth.
- Use a hard brush on the artwork itself.
- Hang in bathrooms, kitchens or other humid spaces.
- Attempt repairs yourself — contact the studio for restoration.
