The Kiss Miniature Bronze Sculpture after Rodin on Marble Base - 6 in.

The seated, embracing figures of Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss are interpreted in a six-inch bronze reproduction on a square marble base. Intertwined arms and the turn of the heads give the small composition interest from several angles. The brown patina brings definition to the modeled bodies and rocky seat.

“I would display The Kiss where it can be seen slightly from the side, allowing the embrace to unfold beyond a single frontal view.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. If needed, gently clean the bronze with mild dish soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. To maintain the patina, apply a very thin coat of nonabrasive, neutral-colored paste wax to the bronze, allow it to haze and buff gently; annual waxing is generally sufficient for indoor display. Never use shoe polish or abrasive metal cleaners. Wipe marble with a barely damp, soft cloth and dry promptly. Keep acidic cleaners, vinegar and abrasive polishes off the stone, and apply bronze wax only to the metal. Lift with both hands supporting the base, rather than pulling on projecting details, and protect the supporting furniture with a soft pad.

Maker / Heritage

Founded in 2012, Bronzhaus is a family-owned business on Long Island, New York. It commissions new castings and sources directly from artists and manufacturers, bringing together contemporary designs and reproductions of familiar sculptural subjects. Its bronzes are hot cast using the lost-wax process, with hand-poured metal capturing the modeled detail. Patinated surfaces and small differences from casting to casting give these pieces their individual character.
