Patination

Patination is the final stage in the production of a bronze and often one of the most exciting stages.

The finishing of bronzes by applying a patina is mostly achieved using various combinations of different layers of chemicals with heat, to achieve the desired finish. This crucial stage transforms the bronze casting, enhancing and enriching the sculpture and truly bringing the sculpture to life. We feel it is essential at this stage to have you the artist, working with us so that we can be sure to achieve exactly the finish you require. We have working with us some of the top patination specialists in the country, who will be happy to advise and work with you in realising the finish you require.
