Mused by the thought to help our clients in
identifying the bronze we have come up with this short guide. Today, it is hard
to tell the difference between real and fake bronze unless you physically
inspect it for characteristics. As a specialist in bronze statue supplier operating
pan India including Kolkata, we want our clients to get the original thing with
these quick scientific tips-
Sound and Weight
There are more cheaper alternatives to real bronze. A mix called
bonded bronze that gives the appearance of the true bronze is used that is not
as durable or strong as bronze. A real bronze sculpture weighs much more than made
of bronze resin. Not only weight, a sculpture of resin sounds dull thud sound
instead of a ring that a real bronze sculpture gives.
Magnetic test
Bronze doesn't rust either has a magnetic quality. While buying do
this simple test- apply a magnet to the artwork and see if it sticks there. As
because iron is stronger and tougher than resin, makes it easier to pass off as
bronze.
Recognize Patina
Patina is a thin surface layer that develops on something. If the
sculpture you have selected flakes or scratches off easily, most probably it is
painted on patina-substitute. You can also check by scratching the patina, it
will show the surface of the metal underneath.
Moreover, cold-cast bronze and iron don't have that real look as
original bronze has a golden gleam.
