Each original piece of the sculptor's art has been cast in sculptor bronze using the "lost-wax" process. Examples of the metal, bronze, were discovered in archeological digs dating far back to ancient Egyptian and Grecian civilizations, when artisans of that time fashioned crude figures, household utinsils, weapons, and armor as well.

These objects have become the artifacts of today and specimens of them can be seen in most fine museums throughout the world.

Although basically the same metal that early man smelted in 3000 B.C., sculpture bronze has been refined and improved over the passing centuries until it completely meets the demanding standards of today's artists for achieving accuracy of intricate detailing, strength, ability to withstand time, and resistance to natural corrosion. Sculpture bronze, it has been said, is probably the most permanent material that one could chose for the purpose of casting works of art.

The "lost-wax" process of casting metal has been used to reproduce works of art since early Greek sculptors of 1500 B.C. discovered the process while they were firing their sculptural works of terra-cota.  This wax casting process was brought to its full development by French artisans and was officially titled "cire-perdue" until it was Anglicized to "lost-wax" many years later.  The complete casting process is extremely time consuming and requires exacting attention paid to details of temperature, humidity, purity, and the "artist's eye".  Many additional technical skills are also needed to turn out the final finished casting.

In order to extract this finished piece from the mold, the original wax model, or maquette, had to be burned up.  Then the mold was destroyed when breaking it free from the casting.  It will, over the years, develop its own natural patina or color and, like a fine pearl, it will enhance in beauty as it is passed down through a family generation after generation.
