Modern Handmade Animal Bronze Bronze Cat Two-Tone Patinated on Marble

Small cat in bronze signed Milo on marble base.

Handcrafted bronze cat with classic brown and greenish-blue mottled patina. This cute bronze kitten is perhaps the beginning of a tasteful collecting passion. The dimensions H/L/W in cm and weight in kg: 28x11x18 3.7 Patina: brown-greenish-blue mottled Signature: Milo This statue was made using the traditional lost wax casting process, the so-called lost mold. This millennia-old process is the most complex and expensive, but also the highest quality, for producing bronze sculptures. After the bronze blank is freed from the mold by smashing it, another complex process begins: chasing. During chasing, exhaust air ducts used in this process are separated and possibly multi-part cast parts are welded together. With great artistic care, the surfaces are then decorated with Scrapers, punches or chisels, files, grinding and polishing tools are used until the surface of the sculpture has achieved the image you created. Facial features, muscles and ornaments are worked out in great detail and nuances are highlighted. Each figure is given its own individual finish, which is completed by the final patination. Our statues are shipped in a shatter-proof box with proof of shipment. Those who wish to collect their items themselves are welcome to make an appointment with us in our showroom near Baden-Baden.
