How do I hang a heavy wooden wall plaque?

Heavy carved wood panels and chargers require secure fixings anchored directly into wall studs or solid masonry using appropriate wall plugs. Weight distribution matters, so utilise strong picture wire attached to sturdy brass screw eyes on the reverse of the panel.

Are porcelain plaques fragile?

Porcelain and ceramic plaques possess delicate structures susceptible to chipping or cracking upon impact. Handle them with care during cleaning and relocation. Keep them away from areas with high foot traffic or vibration to prevent accidental falls from the wall.

How do I clean enamel and copper plaques?

Dust enamel and copper pieces gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove surface particles without scratching the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaning solutions or harsh chemical polishes. Moisture can damage exposed metal and painted surfaces, so keep storage areas dry and stable in temperature.
