After a plaster or resin mold is created from an original sculpture, hot wax is poured into the mold. When the wax hardens, all the finest details are captured in the wax. The wax impression is then encased in a refined clay, which is fired in a kiln and the wax melts away and is "lost". The void created by the melted wax is then filled with molten brass, which is identical to the wax impression that it replaces. Once the brass cools, the clay mold surrounding the brass cast sculpture is removed. This detailed replica is finished by hand, buffing, polishing and patinizing it to give the piece its verdigris (green-grey) or bronze final finish. The labor intensive lost wax casting process produces unique fountains and sculptures with exceptionally fine detail and lasting durability. Each piece is cast and finished by artisans one at a time, just as the originals were. Variations in color and finish reflect the individual craftsmanship of each piece. -§--§--§- We guarantee that all of our products are new and will arrive in perfect condition -- just as described.  We do our best to ensure that we carry wonderful and useful home and garden products for traditional, transitional,  and contemporary styles.
