It's important to note that these pieces are very durable and have withstood many elements and environmental factors. They are not as delicate as they may seem. Extreme sensitivity is not necessary, as with age and time, these artifacts often become more beautiful. Just as they have evolved over time on the continent, they will continue to do so in their new environment.

However, to ensure the longevity of your artifacts, it's important to store them in a stable environment. Keep them away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and damage to wooden pieces. Try to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level in the space where the items are displayed, ideally around 65-75°F (18-24°C) with a humidity level between 40-60%. Avoid placing them near heat sources, like radiators or fireplaces, which can dry out the wood and lead to cracking.

Dust the items regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood's surface and patina. If needed, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure the item is completely dry afterward.

For pieces with significant age or historical value, Misgana will provide the collector with additional information on how to care for the piece directly.
