How can you tell real bronze?

One simple test is to apply a magnet to the artwork and see if it sticks there. Iron is highly magnetic, and you’ll feel the pull in the magnet. If you set a magnet on bronze, it’ll fall off. Also, watch for patches of corrosion, because bronze doesn’t rust.

What happens to bronze left outside?

After the patina has been applied, the sculpture is rinsed and the patina chemicals are neutralized. Once the statue is completely dry, an acrylic lacquer is sprayed onto the surface of the bronze. The lacquer is a very durable, UV stabilized coating. Finally, on top of this layer is applied a coat of paste wax.
