Bronze Heart Paperweight

A heartwarming manifestation of the ancient lost-wax casting process, the Cuore paperweight begins life as a wax sculpture, which is cast then melted away to be replaced with molten bronze. Visconti kneads and shapes every piece by hand, leaving distinctive impressions in the material.

Material: bronze
Country of origin: Italy
Dimensions: 11cm (d) / 4" (d)
Colour: metallics

Raised in the art world and schooled by accomplished artists in Rome, it was only natural Osanna Visconti would apply an artist's creativity to her bronze decor. An expert in the millennia-old “lost wax casting” technique, she hand-carves wax forms, casts them in plaster, then melts away the wax. Molten bronze, poured into the void, takes on fantastical shapes.
