On the eve of International Women’s Day in March 2017, a four-foot-tall bronze statue with a provocative expression appeared in Lower Manhattan. The sculpture quickly became known as “Fearless Girl” and attracted New Yorkers and tourists alike.
The expression and movement of this bronze girl statue are handled perfectly. Our clay mold master has made her to perfection. The clay sculptures themselves are worth a look. The bronze statues made on this basis are also perfect. It is only when the clay sculpture is done to perfection that the final sculpture can satisfy the customer.
In addition, the process of making our sculptures is the traditional lost wax method. This process, although traditional, is also the most precise in the world. But Trevi doesn’t stop there. Based on our past experience, we treat our sculptures to a rust-proof finish so that their exterior does not develop white spots over time.
To achieve the perfect finish for a bronze statue, Trevi takes 33 steps. From drawing to making the clay mold, from restoration to the finished product. Each step is supervised to ensure that no mistakes are made. And we always send progress drawings to our clients for confirmation. Even online, our customers can shop with confidence.
We have always believed that art knows no borders and that shopping online is not a difficult task. So, if you would like to know more about the famous bronze statues, please contact us. We are a professional bronze statue manufacturer with our own factory. You are welcome to be our friend.
Material: The material of the statue is then decided by the client. The sculptor may also use a small clay model to better portray his conception of the design. The clay model can be modified to fine tune the client’s wishes.
Mini-Sculpture: Finally, the bronze sculpture artist may finalize the miniature model of the final design in order to give the client a preview into how the final product will look. This model is made using the material decided, and it can be used by the client for marketing purposes so that he can raise funds for the sculpture.
Creating the Backbone: The backbone of the bronze statue, also called the armature consists of a steel frame with foam added to it in order to resemble the rough outline of the final product. This is then sealed with a latex coat to secure it.
The Sculpting: The main work starts only now. Many pounds of hot clay are used and applied by hand to “block in” the design for the first time. The bronze sculpture artist then invests a lot of time adding more clay, removing some clay and molding the clay until the final product finally resembles the required design. Tiny details are added on to give more preciseness to the bronze statue and make it more real.
Remove dust with a damp cloth.
Do not use metal objects or wire brushes to clean the sculpture.
Do not apply abrasives or cleansers that will possibly scratch the finish.
ZUD – Non- Abrasive Cleaner. Use to remove stubborn stains. Zud cleans all metal surfaces including bronze. Zud can be used in powder or liquid form.
Lemon Oil – Apply a small amount of oil with a paintbrush or soft cloth. Cover the entire figure with oil. Wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth to take off the excess oil.
Paste Wax- A very thin, even coat of wax should be applied with a soft cloth. Allow the wax to sit and dry before polishing. Wax should be applied after bronze has been cleaned and dried. Do not apply if using lemon oil.
Do Nothing: Many bronze owners prefer to sit back and enjoy the natural reaction and aging process of their sculpture.

Ancient Sculpture Gallery is proud to present you with lost wax bronze reproductions of statues and busts from the Egyptian, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, Asian Oriental, and Western civilizations. “Lost Wax” bronze (or hot-cast bronze) is actually 100% pure Bronze – essentially copper and tin. The making of a “lost wax” bronze is a complex and time consuming process, and specific technical expertise is needed to accomplish the task of making a bronze. The most known and used process for making “lost wax” involves pouring of molten bronze. This is the same method used by the ancient civilizations to create bronze sculptures. Our lost wax bronze sculptures are produced in this same technique.
