Originals in this selection, Bronze, Metal, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Formats from 26 x 12 to 34 x 36 cm.
Small casts with tradition
Bronze from 500 to 1,000 euro is an entry into a material that has outlasted centuries. You can look for bronze sculptures in this price band for sale if you want classic casting with a trace of the hand.
Here you often find animal figures, heads, torsos or abstract work at small scale. Casting is usually done in editions of a few copies, each chased and patinated by hand. That makes the series a set of siblings that differ in nuance.

Weight and touch
Bronze is much heavier than cast iron or brass sheet. You feel it when you lift it, and it gives the piece its dignity. Touch does no harm, quite the opposite: hands polish raised spots, and that is how the typical glossy patina forms.
Asking questions
Ask about edition size, foundry and type of patina. An edition number at the foot shows the numbering. A certificate from the foundry and the artist is a good addition so the origin can be documented.
