LAMONT works in both bronze and brass depending on the item. They are different because of the relatively higher copper content in bronze. This makes bronze slightly softer and a tone darker. Brass is often preferred due to strength and the ability to work in thinner lighter products.
LAMONT applies various patinas to brass/bronze in order to achieve various finishes. It is possible to scratch any patina with hard sharp or rough items. The surface can also react to liquids if they are not wiped off quickly. Never attempt to polish bronze using abrasive or chemical materials. In most cases (including our bronze stands) simply use a soft dry cloth to gently clean or buff the surface.
