Artwork description
2024
DEGRADÉ CRYSTAL AND 22CT GOLD PLATED BRONZE
HAND CHISELED AND CAST IN FLORENCE
~15CM TALL
THE MAKING OF A HOME JEWEL
THE MAIN BODY OF THE GRENADE IS MADE BY PRESSING MOLTON LEAD CRYSTAL INTO A METAL MOULD. THE DÉGRADÉ EFFECT IS APPLIED AFTER.
THE GRENADE HANDLE AND DRAGON ARE CAST WITH A PROCESS CALLED LOST WAX CASTING. THIS MEANS IT'S FIRST SCULPTED IN WAX BY HAND. A MOULD IS MADE AROUND THIS AND MOLTEN BRONZE IS POURED INTO THE MOULD, MELTING THE WAX AND LEAVING ONLY THE BRONZE SCULPTURE.
EVERY SCALE IS THEN HAMMERED INTO THE BRONZE TO CREATE THE FINAL EFFECT, MAKING EACH PIECE EVEN MORE UNIQUE.
THE BRONZE IS THEN JOINED TOGETHER IN THE RIGHT SHAPE TO GO AROUND THE GRENADE AND THE SEAMS ARE CONCEALED BY HAMMERING THE SCALE PATTERN OVER THE JOINTS.
THE BRONZE IS PLATED WITH 24CT GOLD IN THE SAME FACTORY AND SAME WAY OF A GUCCI BELT. THIS MEANS THAT ALTHOUGH IT WILL NOT BE CONSTANTLY TOUCHED AS A BELT, IT WILL WITHSTAND TIME. USUALLY GOLD PLATING WOULD ONLY BE 18CT.
AS THIS PIECE IS MADE TO ORDER JUST FOR YOU, IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME TO SHIP OUT.
