About the Production Process
From the artist's hand to the final polishing stages, many intricate steps go into the creation of a limited edition bronze sculpture. First the reproduction mold is made in which layers of silicone rubber and plaster are delicately applied to the original work. Then hot wax is poured into the reproduction mold to form an exact replica of the original sculpture.
When the wax replica is removed from the mold, it is then inspected and refined or "chased" by hand to remove any imperfections that may have occurred in the reproduction process. Next, ceramic cup and wax sprues, or gates, are added which later will help channel the molten bronze into the shell to create the sculpture.
The next step is creating the ceramic shell by alternately dipping the wax replica over a period of several days into a vat of liquid slurry, then a vat of silica crystals. The shell is then set to dry, and the process repeats until the shell has reached the appropriate thickness and strength.
The finished shell is placed in a high temperature oven that melts and removes the wax (the traditional "lost wax" method). The hardened or "fired" shell is secured, so the molten bronze can now be poured into the wax impression.

The distinctive sterling silver designs stand out against the black neillo inlay and the intricate detail is breathtakingly attractive. D'Argenta Silver Sculptures and objects d'art offer unparalleled excellence in quality and exquisite attention to detail, because they are the hallmarks that have established D'Argenta as a leader in the export of precious metal-finished art for over a quarter of a century.
Each of the over 200 limited-edition sculptures, personally signed by the artist, is technically flawless yet competitively priced..the same master-craftsmanship received in pieces that have been gifted to royalty, heads of state and the Vatican. From the surface detail of the innumerable tumuli and broad swells that impart the hides of the elephant collection to the graceful lines that capture the motion of a stallion's gallop, you will marvel at the beauty of your truly unique acquisition as it graces a special place in your home.
Historically, sculptures composed of precious metals were crafted using the traditional hot casting process. 25 years ago, the artisans at renowned metal art company D'Argenta introduced an advanced new metalworking technique that changed the way precious metals are sculpted. D'Argenta's new method combined cold casting and electroforming to create intricate, finely detailed sculptures. The pieces are initially plated with a . 015 inch (400 micro) thick layer of copper, then plated with silver or (24K) gold at a thickness of . 001 inch (24 micro). Each sculpture's interior is composed of a polyester fiberglass core that strengthens sleek metal plating. After being formed, each piece is coated with a protective lacquer to prevents tarnishing and maintain luster. This final step ensures that all D'Argenta sculptures, though crafted with fine silver, do not require polish or any type of metal cleaner and can be simply dusted with a dry cloth as needed.
Exported around the world and now available in over 25 countries, D'Aragenta's products have won international acclaim because of their innovative construction and exquisite beauty. In 1981, D'Argenta was recognized with the Bulgarian Government Gold Medal award. In 1992, a D'Argenta sculpture was gifted to His Royal Highness Prince Naruhito of Japan on a visit to Mexico. A nod to the company's exclusive prestige, D'Argenta sculptures have been gifted to an increasingly long list of dignitaries, including Pope John Paul II, Prince Phillip of England, and his Majesty King Harald of Norway.
The gifted artists of D'Argenta include: Manuel Alvarado, Ricardo Del Rio, Enrique Jolly, Javier Arenas Perez, Claudio Rodr

About the Production Process
From the artist's hand to the final polishing stages, many intricate steps go into the creation of a limited edition bronze sculpture. First the reproduction mold is made in which layers of silicone rubber and plaster are delicately applied to the original work. Then hot wax is poured into the reproduction mold to form an exact replica of the original sculpture.
When the wax replica is removed from the mold, it is then inspected and refined or "chased" by hand to remove any imperfections that may have occurred in the reproduction process. Next, ceramic cup and wax sprues, or gates, are added which later will help channel the molten bronze into the shell to create the sculpture.
The next step is creating the ceramic shell by alternately dipping the wax replica over a period of several days into a vat of liquid slurry, then a vat of silica crystals. The shell is then set to dry, and the process repeats until the shell has reached the appropriate thickness and strength.
The finished shell is placed in a high temperature oven that melts and removes the wax (the traditional "lost wax" method). The hardened or "fired" shell is secured, so the molten bronze can now be poured into the wax impression.

From the artists of De Rosa Artesania Rinconada, this Majestic Lion Sculpture is hand-carved in Uruguay from a Limited Edition of only 1000 pieces. About the De Rosa Collection

The De Rosa family has been intimately involved with ceramics, since 1945 when the founder, Jorge De Rosa attended the Argentinian National School of Ceramic Design. These South American ceramic works of art have been decorating homes and offices world wide since that time. Although the process has changed somewhat over the years the elegance and sophistication of the De Rosa Collection figurines has been secure.

From the vibrant blue dolphin sculptures to the sleek black panther figurines, each piece in the De Rosa Collection is a unique piece of fine ceramic. Their artists take inspiration from surrealist art and South American artists like Dali, Picasso, and Miro to create these stunning ceramic wildlife figurines.

Each figurine is first hand carved by talented artisans. Bold enamel coloring is then applied, again by hand, with a firing of each piece with each new shade applied. The figurines are then finished with a lustrous 24k gold or platinum trim giving each whimsical wildlife figurine its singular signature of elegance. Because of this exceptional process no two pieces from the De Rosa Collection will be exactly alike.
