Sculpture en bronze

Patination is the process of chemically treating the surface of a bronze sculpture to develop a thin layer of oxidation, known as a patina. This patina can be manipulated to achieve various colors and finishes, enhancing the visual appeal and uniqueness of the bronze sculpture.

Bronze sculptures can often be repaired. The process may involve welding, brazing, or filling in damaged areas, followed by refinishing to match the original patina.

Bronze sculptures can be a valuable investment, especially famous bronze sculptures. Their durability ensures they can last for centuries, and their unique aesthetic appeal often increases their value over time.

Lost-wax casting bronze sculpture: This is a traditional method of coating a wax model on a ceramic shell, melting the wax, and pouring it into melted bronze. It allows for fine detail and complex design bronze sculpture.

Sand casting bronze sculpture: Involves pressing a model into sand to make a mold, then pouring bronze into the mold. It's generally quicker and cheaper but may not capture as much detail as lost-wax casting.
