Art Deco Object in Bronze (142|1200-0598)

Object by Currey and Company from the Art Deco collection in Bronze finish The Art Deco Head Bronze is a stylized metal sculpture of a woman's face that was popular during the era for which it is named. 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. The form presented here is of a noble lady contemplating life. {ADDITIONAL FINISH INFORMATION: Bronze}
