Bronze Casting

By which perfect copies of fine works can be produced, down to the very last detail.

'Lost-wax casting' - or 'bronze casting' - dates back thousands of years, its methodology remaining relatively unchanged in that time. The process creates metal (usually bronze) duplicates of sculptures by creating an outer mould of the original sculpture in wax or sometimes clay. Molten wax is then poured in until the shape is defined, forming the inner mould. This is then allowed to cool and set before molten metal (bronze) is poured in and the copy created. Usually, after the process is completed the wax shell is discarded, though in some cases it is retained for further use. The bronze-casting method was so ancient that Pliny spoke of it in his writings, and it was used in ancient India too, according to the Shilpa Shastras texts. As the Medieval age dawned, it was further used by Benedictine Monks such as the noted metalworker and goldsmith Roger of Helmarshausen.
