Welcome to Dolfi's blog, your reference point for the care of wooden sculptures! Having a wooden sculpture in your home is like owning a piece of art history; it is an investment that lasts a lifetime. However, like any precious treasure, wooden sculptures also require specific attention to maintain their original splendor over time. Here are some simple, yet fundamental tips for taking care of your sculptures.
- Regular Cleaning: Dust can be the number one enemy of wooden works. To prevent it from accumulating and penetrating the small carved details, it is essential to clean the sculpture regularly. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust the surface or a brush.
- Protection from Sunlight: Direct sunlight can be harmful, as it tends to discolor the wood over time. Place your sculptures in a place where sunlight does not directly affect them, thus preserving the original colors and the finish of the wood.
- Humidity Control: An environment that is too humid or too dry can cause damage to the wood, such as cracks or deformations. It is important to maintain a stable level of humidity in the environment in which the sculptures are displayed. A dehumidifier or humidifier can help stabilize conditions.
- Wood Wax: To add an additional layer of protection and to revive the natural shine of the wood, periodically apply a light layer of wood wax. This will not only improve the appearance of the sculpture, but will also protect it from dirt and dust.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your Dolfi wooden sculptures remain fascinating and perfect for future generations.
