Nuuri Sculptural Composite Pendant Sconce | Dark Roast

At Uniqwa, we take pride in the uniqueness and individuality of each piece, as they are lovingly crafted by skilled artisans. However, it's important to note that as a result of the handmade nature of the product, there may be variations in size from one piece to another. The variations in size serve as a testament to the artisanal process, and the innate beauty of handmade products lies in their unique characteristics and subtle imperfections.

The Dark Roast finish is a hand-applied finish with natural tonal variation. Product photography should be used as a guide only. Individual pieces may appear lighter or darker depending on the production batch, lighting conditions and viewing environment.

Characteristics

Papier-mâché is a lightweight, handcrafted material made from layered paper and adhesive. Each piece features individual variations-such as visible cracks, clumps, and slight flaking-that contribute to its artisanal and sculptural quality.

Common Issues or Risks

Due to its delicate structure, papier-mâché is prone to cracking, flaking, and warping if exposed to moisture or sudden impact. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may lead to fading or surface dryness, increasing the risk of deterioration.

Preventative Care

Display in a dry, indoor environment away from moisture and direct sunlight. Position pieces in low-traffic areas to minimise the risk of knocks or accidental damage. When not in use, wrap in soft fabric or acid-free tissue and store in a stable, protected location to prevent dust build-up and scratches.

Cleaning Instructions

Dust gently using a dry, soft cloth or a gentle brush. Do not use damp cloths, cleaning sprays, or liquids, as papier-mâché is highly sensitive to moisture.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Avoid all exposure to water, high humidity, or wet cleaning methods. Do not place in direct sunlight for extended periods. Handle carefully to prevent chipping or surface cracks. Do not stack or place heavy objects on papier-mâché pieces.
