All the bronze sculpture in our store was casted using the Hot Cast Lost Wax Method. What gives Bronze value beyond that of a "souvenir" that ends up in a closet? There are many reasons including cost of materials (bronze, silicone for molds, tools, ovens, etc.) The main reason is there are very few people trained in the tedious process practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Bronze sculpture is not easy to make and many time consuming, difficult steps are involved. In a world of hi-tech mass production, bronze casting remains essentially unchanged. Beware of "cold cast" or "bonded bronze", these are misleading names given to plastic figurines. Each of our genuine bronze castings is using the classic "cire perdue" (lost wax cast technique.). This 100% Handmade Bronze Sculpture Was Captured Using The Archaic Method Of Lost-Wax Casting And Stained With A Brown Patina Finish and is signed by the artist Jean Patoue.
