Searching for Limited edition bronze dogs sculptures art gallery? Bronze statues are perfect for a special gift occasion or if you want to infuse some art in to your home. Bronze is the most popular metal for cast sculptures due to its strength, lack of brittleness, and expanding/shrinking properties throughout the casting process. Bronze alloys also allow for very detailed sculpting and a vibrant and colorful color and finish. And then there’s durability: It’s been said that bronze sculpture will be the longest-lasting of all human creations. I find that humbling.
I’m sure there are plenty of you out there who, like me, struggle to find anniversary gifts that are unique yet meaningful to your lasting love and relationship. Traditionally, the 8th wedding anniversary is commemorated by gifts of bronze or pottery. Who knew? The 8th may not get as much attention as 10, 20, or 50, but if you keep reading, you’ll see why maybe it should… Bronze and pottery both have very sweet, traditional symbolism. Bronze sculptures are made with great care and craftsmanship, focusing on precise details resulting in a strength meant to last many lifetimes. Details are kind of important to a long-lasting relationship, don’t you think? Additionally, the finishing touches and patina are critical to protect the bronze and prevent the colors from changing over time. Translation — Your love must be tended to and protected over time, or like anything else, it will fade. Pottery also shares an obvious symbolism in the shaping and molding of a work of art that is meant to last. The modern 8th anniversary gift choice is linens. Borrrring! Even if I didn’t create bronze sculptures, I would still prefer the traditional and unique gift of bronze. Without further ado, here are some of my sculptures that were created with the bronze anniversary gift in mind! Read extra info on Bronze anniversary gifts.
Tip for getting bronze art appraised: Know what you’re looking at. Beyond finding the artist, learning about the types of bronze casts will help as well. There are four major types of bronze sculpture casts: original casts, recasts, replica casts, and after casts. An original cast is exactly as it sounds. It’s the original from the artist. A recast is made from the original mold usually after the artist has passed away. A replica cast is a copy of the original bronze sculpture made by someone other than the artist. And last, an after cast is made from a mold taken from an original bronze sculpture.
