Click to Enlarge
The Giuseppe Cat Bronze Sculpture is cast by the traditional, Lost Wax Bronze Casting method (links to a full description of the method). This labor intensive and time consuming method of casting bronze statues, ensure pristine quality and vivid detail. This Giuseppe Cat Bronze Sculpture features intricate, hand forged details with a beautiful brown fire-applied patina. Applying patina to bronze using the French method (fire and heat) is an age old traditional skill requiring expert craftsmanship. Each patina is hand applied and the patination result may vary making each sculpt unique. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in natures elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent a patina from forming. The Giuseppe Cat Bronze Sculpture is available in the Classic Dark Brown / Polished Gold patina as shown.

The artisans who created the Giuseppe Cat Bronze Sculpture captured an authentic gaze and lifelike aspect. Finished in black bronze, this piece comes to life through a multi-step lost-wax casting process. After casting, the artist adds thoughtful touches like polishing or additional finishes to complete the look, illustrated here by the polished goldfish the cat holds in its paws. This sculpture is perfect displayed on a shelf, side table, outside on a veranda table or anywhere a cat lover can see and appreciate our adorable Giuseppe.
