A Closer look to Bronze

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.

Role of Chasing in Bronze Sculpture Creation

At the beginning, the sculpture pieces were created for quiet cogitation by private collectors, rather than the wider public. But with the passing of time, it has become a symbols of taste and power — thus representing a revolutionary art form and breaking the long monopoly in this field we have come up as one of the aspiring bronze sculpture manufacturers.

As a bronze sculpture manufacturer let’s give you an overview on the importance of chasing in bronze sculpturing-

Well, chasing means cleaning, ornamenting and finishing metalwork. Once a bronze sculpture has been cast it is allowed to cool so that the sprue marks are chased and re-detailed by hand. Any scars on the sculpture left by the rods are carefully blended to match the whole surface.

The skilled sculptor does this painstakingly and adds the detail to the sculpture’s surface as intended. This is one of the processes that individualize each sculptor with his or her work and gives recognition as a one particular sculptor's work. By the overall quality of the chased surface detail, you can determine both age and authenticity the work piece.

Chasing is helpful to spot the fake one. Achieving fine detail by chasing the bronze surface is difficult time-consuming and costly process. So very fewer specialists opt for hand chasing to achieve quality on the bronze surface. Recast bronzes cannot afford the time and expense for this process, while electrical drills make the surface is either too smooth or leave mechanical lines on the surface that cannot represent the beauty.
