Is Brass Statue OK Outside in Winter

2003

My wife and I have a brass statue from India. I don't know if it has any kind of varnish finish on it. Can you tell us if it's okay to leave this statue outside? Or would it need to have a finish? We live in the mountains; snow in Winter.

Thanks so much.

Your statue can be varnished -- Incralac is good for this purpose (USA product). You can use "Renaissance Micro-Crystalline Wax" [affil link] (Uk product)too. Rubbing with Linseed Oil [affil link] is simplest way to protect Your sculpture.

Good luck!
