How can you tell fake bronze?
1 Answer
To tell fake bronze, try striking the metal with the handle of a butter knife. Real bronze will produce a sustained ringing sound, similar to a bell. Other metals will produce a duller thud, while bronze-toned resin will usually give off a fainter sound. When in doubt about materials, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of bronze furniture and decorative objects.
