The process begins with the creation of a core made of earth and clay, shaped like the chandelier. It is coated with decorated wax and then covered with a second layer of clay. Firing melts the wax, leaving a cavity into which molten bronze is poured. After cooling, the mold is broken, and the piece is finished using a file, chisel, and final decorative elements.
