Bio:
Ildfast was a Danish metal workshop producing decorative bronze objects during the first half of the 20th century. Its work is particularly associated with Danish Art Deco and is recognised for sculptural forms, dark and green patinated surfaces and contrasting polished bronze details. Ildfast bowls and other bronze objects from the period are frequently marked with variations of “Ægte Ildfast Bronce” or “Ildfast Bronze”.
