BOTANICAL SERIES/Tulip Bulb
BOTANICAL SERIES/Tulip Bulb
Tulip Bulb Framed Copper Plate
The Botanical Series is meant to invoke the feeling of the decorative arts era from the late 1800’s through 1920. This copper plate has been chased and repoussé to create the tulip bulb and leaves. Each copper plate is carefully matted and framed so that it can be hung on the wall. Each is made to order so every one will be slightly different as these are handcrafted. Please allow 4-6 weeks from the date of purchase to allow time to create the piece and to have it framed.
Jewelry, Teapots, Vessels
Pieces should not be worn when applying perfumes/colognes, hair spray, lotions etc. Any type of beauty product will potential corrode the metals’ surface and will need to be repaired by the maker. I suggest wiping the piece of jewelry with a soft, cotton cloth upon removal from your ears or neck. Keeping the jewelry in an airtight ziplock enclosure will deter patination or oxidation. This will also keep the gold leaf from being marred or scratched, providing the item is leafed.
Gold Leafed Items
Items that have been gold leafed have been sealed with an acrylic sealant. This item should not be exposed to water or moisture since the sealant is a water based product
Copper
Copper will naturally patina over time. Upon request I will seal the copper with a wax, but know that this will not entirely stop the patination process.
Silver Polishes or Cloths
PLEASE do not use silver polishes or rouge cloths on your items!!!! Rouge cloths contain a polishing compound that is meant to be used by a professional jeweler. Rouge is a polishing compound used on a high speed polishing wheel to provide a high polish. The cloth will indeed remove tarnish but it will also leave small scratches in the metal!!!!
Silver polishes or dips are very corrosive when not used properly!!!! Please contact Genevieve Flynn if you have any concerns about your piece and discuss this with her. She will happily work with you.
