Bronze Patina Colours & Finishes
A patina is the coloured surface finish applied to a bronze sculpture. It allows a wide range of colours and patterns, from classic black and deep brown to blues, greens and warm polished highlights, and each finish is built up using techniques passed down from master foundry artisans.
Browse the bronze patina finishes below to see what is possible when customising a bronze sculpture. The patina can be chosen to suit your space, and many sculptors will apply a chosen finish on a commissioned work. See our bronze sculpture for sale and the wider Australian sculpture collection, or contact the gallery to talk through a finish.
