Are bronzes worth money?

1 Answer
Are bronzes worth money?
Yes, bronzes may be worth money. The maker, size, subject, age, condition, historical significance and other factors determine how much bronze sculptures may sell for. Even pieces in poor condition may have some value as bronze scrap metal. To learn about the potential value of your bronze, consider having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer evaluate it. Shop a wide range of bronze sculptures on 1stDibs.
