This is a beautiful cold cast bronze ballerina wall plaque. A truly wonderful gift for an aspiring ballet dancer. “Cold Cast Bronze” is a technique used for making statues, it involves blending bronze powders with a specially formulated resin to produce a material which is applied to the interior of a silicone mold. The mold is then filled with a blend of resin and bronze metal powder, the statue is then left to set. The finished item has the same appealing look of a bronze statue, a cool feel and is weighted. All in all, a cold cast bronze statue is a piece of art produced for a fraction of the cost of solid bronze but still carrying the same incredible detail and design. All of Marlow Home Co. bronze statues and figures are produced this way. From bronze horse statues to elephants, hares to dogs all have cared in exactly the same way. Dust your bronze statue an untreated cloth or duster, use absolutely no chemicals at all. If your statue is very detailed or has hard places use an artists paintbrush. All of Marlow Home Co. cold cast bronze products are of course very fragile so be careful!
