Trevi Exclusive Patina Advantages
One of the unique advantages of choosing Trevi’s bronze dolphin statue is the exclusive patina process used in its production. Patina is a chemical process that creates a layer of oxidation on the surface of the bronze, giving it a rich, natural-looking color and texture. Trevi’s patina process involves several stages of chemical treatment and hand-polishing, resulting in a durable and long-lasting finish that can withstand outdoor elements and retain its beauty over time.
The Reduction of 1:1 Clay Models
Another distinctive feature of Trevi’s bronze dolphin statue is the use of 1:1 clay models in the production process. Clay models are an essential step in creating bronze sculptures that are faithful to the original design and capture the essence of the subject. At Trevi, our skilled artisans create 1:1 clay models by hand, using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This process allows us to refine the details and proportions of the sculpture before casting it in bronze, resulting in a final product that is both beautiful and accurate.
Other Metal Dolphin Sculpture Designs
In addition to the bronze dolphin statue, Trevi offers a range of other metal dolphin sculpture designs that can further enhance your outdoor space. From playful dolphin fountain sculptures to intricate dolphin wall art, our collection has something for every taste and style. Whether you prefer the elegance of bronze, the modernity of stainless steel, or the rustic charm of cast iron, we have a metal dolphin sculpture that can suit your needs.

FAQs
What’s the material?
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.
Bronze Sculpture Statue
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.
How do I clean and maintain a bronze sculpture?
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.

What’s the wax?
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.
