| | History of Bronze
Bronze, comprised primarily of copper and tin, is the oldest alloy known to man. The earliest documented use of bronze occurred in 3500 B.C. by the Mesopotamians. Our early predecessors needed to shape functional items that would be hard and durable. Another reason for its favor, which exists even today, is bronze resists corrosion and naturally weathers to a beautiful brown or green color referred to as its patina. As the protective patina forms, bronze corrodes very slowly making it virtually timeless. plazagallery.com has traveled the world over to develop and offer this incredible collection. In addition to our diverse selection of statuary and objects d'art for the home and garden, our collection has a strong emphasis on functional bronze sculptures, that are a work of art with a purpose in today's home. Our offering consists of some very complex and unusual pieces. Each is of the highest quality and sure to become a focal point for a variety of applications. Many of our designs are exact recreations of historically significant pieces, made possible by copying treasures long since scoffed off the market by museums and collectors world-wide. Other original designs -heretofore unavailable- are created exclusively for our clientele by master sculptors from around the world.
