Garnier & Linker uses two techniques to produce bronze pieces: sand casting and lost wax casting. In both cases, all preliminary master models, including surface work, are made in the Garnier & Linker workshop using various materials such as wood, plaster, or wax. These forms are then sent to foundries, where they are transformed into bronze.
The patinas are applied to the hot bronze pieces, which are first chiseled and sandblasted. The natural variations from one piece to another make each one unique. A protective wax is applied to preserve the depth of color and ensure the durability of the pieces, while allowing the patina to age naturally.
To maintain the beauty of the pieces, simply clean them with a soft cloth and avoid any chemicals that could damage or remove the patina. Apply a light coat of wax regularly.
