what do you think?is it antique or repro bronze statue?

hello guys,so in my browsing time i found this statue,i want to ask an opinion,what do you think about it?is it genuine antique or just another modern reproduction?thank you

 

modern not antique

no size listed

 

If your able to ask the seller ask them to post a photo of the bottom.

 

may i know the reason,why do you think it's modern?thank you

 

i'll ask it later,thanks

 

The lack of old patina. The surface shown appears somewhat falsely aged in color. What is the material of this piece said to be made of? @Silver Wolf

I know you've been wanting an older statue, I just don't think this is older than the 1990s.

 

it was said bronze.bronze is not my field,so i'm glad asking in this forum,thanks for the info anti!

 

It looks like it has rust on it.

But bronze doesn't rust.

So, it's either not bronze or not rust. And if not rust, what? Maybe applied patina?

 

could it be mix of brass-bronze can created rust?because sometimes there're "bronze" statue that was made with the mixing of brass-bronze together,

 

No. Even a rusty cast-iron statue would not be rusted evenly all over. This looks quite nice, but it's not old.

 

Brass doesn't rust, either.

 

LOL I meant to type that too!

 

I really don't have a clue about the age, but... yeah, it does seem off.

 

Yeah Jivvy, you know, I just got on here to type that brass / bronze don't rust, and then started to think about if it WERE a rustable metal, which it's not, it still wouldn't have such an "even" all-over patina (of rust). So in my effort to help @Silver Wolf understand how I can look at that thing and see that it's not old and it's an applied patina, I forgot the point to say first! smh at myself

 

hey thanks guys,such very helpful information!
