FAQs

Bronze has been utilised for centuries in sculpture due to its durability and ability to capture fine detail, popularised during various classical and realist movements.

Authentic pieces are typically cast using the lost-wax method, resulting in solid or hollow copper-alloy metal sculptures with patinated surfaces.

Authentication involves examining the depth and type of patination, casting seams, maker marks, and the weight and composition of the metal.

A bronze piece can serve as a focal point on a sturdy surface like a sideboard or console table, contrasting against lighter walls or natural wood textures.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and periodically apply microcrystalline wax to protect the patination from moisture and handling oils.
