Several pieces of the trees have been welded on; spelter is typically too thin to take a weld. Bronze forms a patina which can flake off as it has with these figures. However, it does look kind of speltery where that has happened.

And yes, not Bradley and Hubbard and very likely northwestern European from the early 19th Century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
