Sand Casting
SAND-CASTING is “basically” a Cast of Sand – Foundry and consists in pouring the liquid-bronze inside a cast on which we have put over a mold and compacted the special sand.
We leave it solidify and afterwards we have to break the cast to remove the piece of bronze.
A Handcraft Process guaranteed by the expert hands of our Artisans using High Quality Bronze. Minute details are care- fully checked to get an unique piece.
Manufacturing of the Bronze
Sand Casting

Sand Compacting
Sand Casting
The name of our manufacturing process: sand casting, comes essentially from this part. A wooden-cast which is filled with special sand ( in between we have put the mold ) and later we poor the liquid bronze inside

Casting
Foundry and Pouring
Bronze ingots should be melted to get the liquid bronze and pour it inside the sand casting wooden boxes where the molds are inside fitted. Then we will get the pieces composing our items
Once we get the liquid bronze, we pour it inside the sand casting wooden boxes

Polishing
Hand-polishing and Vibratory polishing
Now we have to hand-polish the piece. One of the most careful and expensive processes on our manufacturing
Hand-polishing small pieces

Retouch
Trimming, mounting and artisan
The piece is taken with many "Spare" bronze parts, so we have to carefully trim the spares and to follow our production
Through a completely artisan process, we give the special finishing to all our products
Hand/made artisan manufacturing techniques very delicate and precise
