Craftsmanship

Cast in solid bronze, chased by hand and given a warm brown patina, the teeth, the goggles with their protruding lenses, the gears, cables, buckles and little pipes are all precisely worked. The patina is lighter on rivets, wheels and lenses, and black marble with white veining lies beneath.

Care

A dry microfibre cloth is enough for regular care. Because the patina is applied by hand, each example turns out slightly different.
