Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. A good beeswax or furniture oil applied occasionally will feed the wood and deepen the patina beautifully over time. Avoid anything harsh or chemical based.

A soft cloth and a brass specific cleaner will keep brass looking its best without damaging the surface. Cast iron does well with a light coat of oil to keep rust at bay. Neither needs much, just a little attention now and then.

That is exactly what it was made for. British antique furniture was built with craft and intention, and most pieces are entirely functional. If something is purely decorative or needs special handling, we will say so in the listing.
