Why does my Antiqued Real Bronze vary slightly in colour?
A. In the case of the “antiqued style” (RBMA), the colour produced is a unique iridescent patina that reflects back various colours whilst the underlying shade is a mid bronze. The finish is created by taking a highly polished solid bronze product and putting it through a special process which rapidly oxidises the surface. There will always be some variations in appearance, it is in the nature of the finish and is one characteristic that makes these items unique and so appealing. Another feature is that with constant handling the oxide film will wear and lighten in appearance. Surfaces that are not handled , or are occasionally handled, will dull down and darken over time.
