Dorothy 20"H x 42"L

Brass Baron sculptures are made by hand in the ancient cire per due, or lost wax, method. Artistic and labor intensive, this meticulous process builds ultimate value into every Brass Baron creation.

Even in simple terms, lost wax casting is complex process. A mold is first created from an original sculpture. A hollow casting is poured in wax and the wax impression is removed and refined. Once encased, inside and out, in a clay mold, the wax impression is kiln-fired. The wax melts out, and is... lost. The resulting void is then filled with molten brass. Once hardened, the brass casting removed from the mold. It is buffed, polished and patinized to give the piece its finished bronze appearance.

The artistic handcrafting of this elegant sculpture builds subtle variations in color, finish, size and shape into each piece. Every Brass Baron creation is ultimately unique.
