The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the late 19th century, European bronze casting expanded rapidly, with sculptors producing realistic genre figures depicting everyday subjects, such as workers and children, for domestic display.

Most antique bronze sculptures were cast using the lost-wax or sand-casting methods, followed by hand-chasing to sharpen details and chemical treatments to establish a permanent patina.

Authentic bronze pieces display subtle surface wear to the patina, crisp hand-chased details, foundry stamps or signatures, and significant weight compared to spelter or resin reproductions.

Position the sculpture on a wooden surface, mantelpiece, or shelving unit against a light background to highlight its silhouette and metallic tones.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a light layer of microcrystalline wax periodically to protect the patina from oxidisation.
