Authenticating bronze sculpture requires careful examination of materials, construction, marks, and aging patterns. Genuine pieces will show consistent signs of age appropriate to their claimed period — including patina, wear patterns, and tool marks consistent with the era of production.
Reproductions often have telltale signs: overly uniform aging, modern materials, or marks that don't match known examples. When in doubt, a detailed appraisal examining these factors can help confirm authenticity.
