About the Bronzes
This garden decor is cast in brass and may have a bronze or other patina.
The basic difference between bronze and brass is bronze contains tin and brass contains zinc – and bronze will cost about 3-4 times as much as brass. How each weathers depends on the composition which can differ with each batch. Bronze is harder than brass, and most people can't tell the difference.
At Gardecor®, both bronze and brass items are correctly labeled.Click here to read more about the bronzes.
The brass statue is cast by the labor-intensive, a labor and material intense method of casting molten metal that leaves no mold seams called the lost-wax method. It produces a beautiful product without unsightly seams.
