Greek Collection Object

Object by Currey and Company from the Greek Collection collection in Antique Bronze finish

The Greek Female Torso Bronze is a metal sculpture with a beautiful patina. The plissé effect of the crinkled fabric that perfectly represents a robe of a very important philosopher or politician at the height of the Greek era gives this work of art a great sense of movement. Made using a lost-wax technique when boiling bronze is poured into a mold covering an original wax sculpture that melts away, the raw bronze is only halfway to its ultimate beauty. Once set, there is a very long process of refining the surface to lend it greater sheen and patina.
