Patination

Many believe that the patination is the most important and vital part in the Bronze casting process. It can be an alchemical transformation when a sculpture takes on its own character and meaning through a vibrant patination.

The patination is the application of chemicals to the surface of bronze sculpture to oxidise and colour the metal. The possibilities for different colours and effects are numerous.

We have a wide palette of colours and can offer traditional finishes or more experimental ones if desired. We constantly research new patinas to expand on what we know already. We feel that the client’s involvement is especially important at this stage and it is normal for the client to work closely with the patineur to achieve the finish they are looking for.
