How do I hang a heavy bronze plaque safely?

Heavy metal wall plaques require secure fixings anchored directly into wall studs or solid masonry. Utilising appropriate wire or brackets suited to the weight of the bronze and its wooden mount prevents accidental damage.

What is the best way to clean patinated bronze?
