Informative. Thank you.
Useful tips, thanks!
Thank you 🙏 very informative and beautifully done
Muito bom primeiricima, parabéns acabamento genial, trabalho com cera perdida, também a 20 anos.
common middle class folks like art too. They cannot afford 90% copper bronze or ltd editions. Everyone deserves art
Oh yes I really enjoyed your video on bronze I really didn't know much about it other than Olympics awards give bronze out then but I didn't know the history of it or know how it looks when it's the best quality abroad. I really wish they would have more schools that teach you about metals not just about gold silver Platinum but about bronze too and copper and how beautiful it can look people when they see brawn they say well that's not good yet cuz they told you to send bad and I'm so glad you made the videos and teaching people about bronze and if you could please have more people on that do bronze jewelry cuz it's a loss of young people that wants to get in metal and bronze is a beautiful metal and they need to know more about it thank you again for the video.
Thank you.
Thanks for the great video. I cast a statue at home, but it had imperfections. I wonder if you know what would cause lacey/swiss cheese like holes near where a sprue attached to the sculpture?
Very helpful, thanks
Nice room!
Super knowledge
Thank you for your video, very educating. I have a couple questions, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a beautiful bronze statue, that's got done mystery to it. I've tried to find the same statue everywhere but have come up empty. Next to the signature there's a name of the statue, but I can't make it out. It's also got ¹/50 engraved on it. My guess is there is 50 more of these or was at one time.
The statue is 34" tall and the base is 19"x20". So it's not a small bronze by any means. The artist name is Gutierrez. Here's a couple of photos. Any help is appreciated. I
It won't add my photos. I guess I'm house trying to figure out how to learn more about this actual piece. Thank you
Loved the video but I want to know who is the artist who made a sculpture I have its 2 dolphins on a wave and the writhing at the bottom is a J in a circle and JIN .Y can you help or point me in the right direction thank you
Tip: it is perfectly OK to buy a modern reproduction bronze, as long as you know and understand that you a buying a modern reproduction bronze
It is "ok" to buy a lab created diamond too, I wouldn't ; )
@@andreah6175 That's because you're special.
@@andreah6175 Can't see why not if the seller and buyer are both aware
@@andreah6175 diamonds are not even rare but great art is priceless.
@@JonnyParker- Perhaps such art is only valuable if unattainable. It would be nice if more were Inspired to create instead of obtain opposed to buying replicas but just my perspective, in that I wouldn't be proud to sport something lab created or a fake Gucci for example. The magic and quality that gives something value would no longer exist to suffice
do you know anything about giessendorff bronze sculptures?
how u make hollow sculpture
Hello,
I'm Canadian and i have a broze statue made by a Belgium artist Jeanne Tercafs .
My question is so you buy art statue make by such artist?
Thank you 😊
If a bronze sculpture has a marble base with discolored patches/cracks on it, would it decrease the value of the sculpture?
Something is only worth what someone is willing or able to pay. I have a Moreau sculpture, lots appreciate looking at it but very few would invest in it. A local museum requested I donate it to them. The more original the better, it tells a story.
@@andreah6175
most authentic bronzes were never mounted on marble or anything else.
Are these sculptures for sale?
How do you find the artist of a table top sculpture?
can someone guide me to find a dealer for ancient statues
tx for tips btw i have a girl in dutch shoes with a duck under her arm that is the giessendorff
thanks for posting this video... it is a good topic, advertisement or not, to increase the standards of artisans and that of the consumer... that said... does 95% copper, 4% silicon, and 1% manganese actually qualify to be called a bronze?... a copper based alloy yes... better than bronze or better than some bronzes in some ways for your purpose...maybe...
you are portraying yourself as a professional expert raising the standards and providing a community service in that act of raising the standards of your customer while marketing your brand..
although your alloy may work quite fine for producing sculptures and in other applications... because your presentation is injurious to others who actually produce what may be, by definition, called a bronze, having a substantial measure of tin... .or a brass having a substantial measure of zinc in stead of tin... and that specific treatment applied at substantial cost and investment of energy (work), ........energy that you have alleviated yourself of... at minimum you could be kind enough, to yourself, to state cleanly that you had found an alloy that you preferred... was more economical... and potentially more durable ..
and in that statement only slightly minimizing the difference between your preferred alloy and bronze, thereby appearing as humble... in fact providing an example of some measure of honesty and humility at the same time in that same effort.
maybe a solid copper statue would be worth more money to some... for scrapping ...who knows... a solid gold one would be... i like nickle silver myself
the premise of this video is a nice thought though...
I'd offer you best wishes... but as a tradesman I'm afraid you'ld honor yourself for badmouthing me for doing something properly, instead of poor technique.
Excellent video and information but the background music was kind of irritating. Thanks
How much prize?
I have what I believe to be a
very old chinese male foo dog because of crudeness
of underbelly which I assume that bronzes were not perfection throughout
the sculpture if a bronze were produced hundreds
of years ago .The piece has a very heavy black patina
( not paint), but carbon
buildup.
So these are basically repro of original bronzes. A quality bronze is a 100% original bronze, cast in the period and commissioned by the original designer - don't see much evidence of this in the video
reproductions can be beautiful as well, without the high price tag
Classical bronze is copper 80- 95% and tin 20 to 5 percent period. No silicon or any other metal . All else are bronze variants and not bronze in the classical sense .
Hmmm.... My little one is not quality x 🧡💛🧡🙏😇🇦🇺
This is not bronze. Bronze is 90 percent copper and 10 percent tin.
Exactly, apparently the guy is casting copper statues, lol
For many centuries, since Roman times at least, bronze has been an alloy of copper and tin.
its not written in stone, there are different ratios and mixes
yes, tin can be between 10% and 40% I believe to be considered bronze, and can have some other additions as well
It's called silicon bronze,some might say boys bronze... nice and easy to work with but not particularly traditional, so maybe when looking for quality bronze sculpture you hould be taking your portable xrf to get a tin content :)
This a piece pick up out of a junk car and we're hopping you can identify
Looks expensive
I wish you would get rid of that annoying music ....It drowns out your voice ,turned it off.
