Description
The Emtek Padua Lever is a tribute to the rich artistic heritage of Padua, Italy--a city renowned for its classical artistry and cultural contributions. Much like the traditional lost wax method of casting in which it is produced, the Padua Lever is a work of art in its own right, crafted with precision and attention to detail. Its design seamlessly blends classic aesthetics with modern functionality, making it a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate the enduring beauty of traditional craftsmanship and bronze materials.
Rooted in an ancient practice in which a bronze sculpture is cast from a wax model. The wax model is dipped in a slurry of silica, then more ceramic material is added, creating thick walls around the template. At this point, the wax is melted out of the ceramic and you are left with an empty ceramic mold. Molten bronze is then poured into the ceramic mold, creating a bronze reproduction of the original wax model.
