This beautiful heart has a three-dimensional effect that gives it beautiful depth and character, and when hung, it reflects light beautifully. The heart is part of Ib Laursen's "Gloria" brass decoration line and is made of genuine brass. Brass is a soft material and therefore requires careful handling. The color of brass can vary and may change color after being touched or exposed to air, which gives it a beautiful patina. Brass polish can be used for cleaning, but please handle with care.
