  • It means that the sculpture is made from bronze and not a resin
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a bronze sculpture is real, start by scratching the dark coating on the metal called the patina. If the mark appears reddish-gold to yellow in color, you likely have an authentic bronze piece. Black or gray indicates a replica. When you strike a bronze statue, it should produce a ringing sound. A thud or knocking sound likely means the piece is another type of metal. Find a collection of expertly vetted bronze sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Bronze will begin to patina as it ages, and is a great way to check the age of a bronze piece. Bronze generally uses copper as an alloy, which captures an underlying and beautiful pink color.

    Yes, bronze sculptures may be worth something. The artist, age, size, subject matter and condition of sculptures all play a role in determining their value. Bronze pieces by well-known artists like Alberto Giacometti and Constantin Brâncuși have sold for millions in the past. If a sculpture doesn't have much value based on its artistic merit, historical importance or other characteristics, the bronze metal itself may have value as scrap metal. For a valuation of a particular piece, use the services of an experienced art dealer or certified appraiser. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of bronze sculptures.
