Caring for antique ivory requires special care not to apply any cleaners that may cause damage or discoloration. Over time, ivory darkens and/or turns yellow in color and develops surface coloring called a patina. This change is color is an indicator if its age and thus affects the value of the piece and should not be removed. If a cleaner is applied and the coloring is altered, you risk losing the value. When using the cleaning methods below, always test a small area first and proceed slowly to ensure there are no adverse effects.

It is a sign of true ivory and will naturally darken and split over time. It is never recommended to submerse an ivory piece in any water or cleaning solution. Some sites recommend cleaning ivory by rubbing it with lemon and setting it in the sun. This will bleach the ivory and should not be used on antiques because removing the color will affect the value. Ensure none of the cloths used to clean the piece have been dried with fabric softener as it will transfer to the piece and can cause damage or markings on the surface. Avoid placing ivory pieces in direct sunlight. It causes bleaching or color changes and can lead to cracking. If the ivory piece is beginning to dry out, it may need to be hydrated. To accomplish this, saturate a soft cloth with mineral oil or glycerin and wrap it around the ivory piece. Allow it to set overnight. In the morning, wipe off any excess oil. Remember – it’s always better to consult with a professional than ruin a valuable antique piece.
