CLASSICAL ZINC SPIRE

Description

This refined architectural spire showcases the elegant proportions and understated detailing that defined European rooftop ornamentation during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its naturally aged zinc surface has developed a soft, rich patina through decades of exposure to the elements, while the integrated LED lighting beautifully emphasizes every contour and profile. Collector's Note Each piece in this collection is an authentic architectural artifact salvaged from historic European buildings. Individually selected for its craftsmanship, character, and originality, every object bears the naturally aged patina and subtle imperfections that only more than a century of exposure can create. Mounted on reclaim 2 x 8 construction timbers which are rustic by their very nature with integrated museum-quality LED lighting, these architectural fragments are thoughtfully reimagined as sculptural works of art—preserving their history while giving them a new life in today's interiors.

Care & Maintenance

Zinc is an incredibly soft metal, and its distinctive patina has developed naturally over more than 100 years of exposure to the elements. Because of this aging process, the surface may have a slightly textured appearance. For routine care, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth or a Swiffer® duster. This is typically all that is needed to keep your piece looking its best. For more thorough cleaning, compressed air—either from a can or an air compressor equipped with an air nozzle—is an excellent way to remove dust and debris from the textured surface without disturbing the natural patina. Please Note: Variations in color, texture, and surface character are natural features of antique zinc and are part of what makes each piece truly one of a kind.
