The Art & History of Bronze

     Across the globe, bronze has been acknowledged as symbol of wealth and status for thousands of years. Artwork produced in bronze was regarded by the Ancient Greeks as the highest form of sculpture. Bronze, composed primarily of 90% copper and 10% tin, is the oldest alloy known to man. The earliest documented use of bronze occurred in 3500 B.C. by the Mesopotamian.

Our early predecessors needed to shape functional items that would be hard and durable. Another reason for its favor, which exists even today, is the resistance of bronze to decay or corrosion. The incredible nature of bronze, not only allows magnificent sculpture, statues, and other accents to be created; but due to the lack of corroding and the fact that bronze doesn’t rust, this also allows for the use of brass or bronze to be used in the design and creation of impressive architectural elements, functional bronze fountains, and life-size bronze statues, or larger-than-life bronze statues to create stunningly powerful architectural landscapes with the use of bronzes to the design the outdoor space of your dreams reminiscent of any time-period you prefer and style you desire.

    Investing in bronze statues, bronze sculptures, or bronze artwork is guaranteed to pay off due to the ever increasing value of copper and the correlating value of bronze. Antique bronzes, are highly sought after, as bronze pieces will naturally weather to a beautiful brown or green color, referred to as its patina. This patina has been replicated, duplicated, and inundated but absolutely nothing compares to the visually-breathtaking finish that forms over time, through a process that can never be rushed or reproduced with the same level of aesthetically pleasing beauty that will come with owning any bronze art.

As the protective patina forms, as a means of self-protection, bronze corrodes very slowly making it virtually Timeless.

How is the Art of Bronze Produced?

“The Lost Wax Process" - is the production technique used to create these quality objects D'Art. It is an art in itself, as old as the alloy it utilizes.

.  ...

     Once the design is ready, a negative mold is made. The mold is brushed with layer after layer of melted wax to the desire thickness of the final bronze, after which it is filled with a heat-resistant mixture to stabilize it.

Wax tubes are fitted by the artists to the outside of the shell, which become ducts for pouring the bronze during the actual casting. Metal pins are hammered through the shell to secure it. At this stage, the exterior of wax is completely covered with heat resistant plaster and the piece is then placed in large ovens.

     During the heating process the plaster dries, and the wax runs out, the molten bronze is poured through the ducts filling the void left by the removed wax. After cooling, the plaster shell is smashed away and ~ The Bronze is Cast.
