Know before you buy
Yes, the piece is finished with a protective gloss varnish that makes it suitable for outdoor display. However, to maintain the finish over time, we recommend placing it in a sheltered area or applying a clear coat spray if you live in a region with harsh weather conditions.
Because each piece is handcrafted from recycled steel oil drums, there will be slight variations in the metalwork and finish. These unique characteristics are part of the charm and ensure that no two sculptures are identical.
Simply wipe the sculpture with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If it is kept outdoors and begins to show signs of wear, you can occasionally apply a clear outdoor-grade metal sealant to preserve the gloss and prevent oxidation.
This certification ensures that the Haitian artisans who handcrafted your sculpture are paid fair wages and work in safe, ethical conditions. By purchasing this piece, you are directly supporting traditional folk art techniques and sustainable livelihoods in Croix-des-Bouquets.
The sculpture is crafted from durable recycled steel, making it quite sturdy. While the edges are finished for display, please handle it with care as you would with any handcrafted metal art piece.
