Zawadi Décor Bronze Collection:

Cast in the age-old “lost wax” bronze casting process, each sculpture is expertly finished by hand to create unique details. This ancient bronze casting process enhances every nuance of the original clay sculpture.

Once the final stage of polishing and finishing is done, each piece is carefully treated with a premium anti-tarnish protective coating (Protectaclear®), that is imported from the USA.

The bronze patina sculptures are suitable for indoors and outdoors, whilst the silver-plated sculptures are better suited for indoors. Bronze sculptures placed outside will naturally oxidize over time, which adds to the beauty and characteristic feature of this metal.

Zawadi Cold-Cast Bronze SELECTION:

The process of Cold-Cast Bronze is made by mixing pure bronze powder with a bonding agent, and then applying it under pressure to the surface of the piece. This leaves a thin layer of real bronze, which gives the piece the look and feel of a solid bronze sculpture, whilst allowing tremendous fine detail.

The textured sections on some of the sculptures are created by using sand in the mold.

After the Cold-Cast process is completed, each piece is then detailed by hand to add emphasis and contrast.

The core material of these pieces is a bonded limestone and silica mix, which once it has been cast and cured, creates a strong and durable material.
