ART DECO SPELTER
In the past spelter (in France called Regule) has often been overlooked by art dealers in preference to bronze. However, pieces of spelter, dating from the early twentieth century to the present day are now much sought after. The beauty of its finished patina ďž when spelter is cast it is produced without flaws ďž creates sculptural works that are perfect in form. The quality of spelter is in its casting. After casting the body of the work it can be painted or gilded. This exact science of production has pushed spelter to be as collectible as bronze because of the higher quality of finish.
