IRON PLANTER

~BeSt Form/PaTiNa~

With Older Quality Pieces like this, it's worth the time to 

PRESERVE Their Naturally time~worn Patina...

I brush a thick coat of clear matte urethane on it,

to "seal-in" the chippy-paint patina...

  Even though this finish is matte, -it takes about 3 weeks

 of outdoor exposure to tone-down...  I do this every year

 to each of my quality outdoor pieces - whose patina is right

where I want it ~ with no further deterioration...
