Archetypes are not reproductions or replicas.

Rather, they express the aesthetic of other times and places. Recalling the art, architecture, politics and society of another era. Rich cultural references infused into new, inspired designs. Archetypes evokes the spirit of place throughout your home, enhancing and deepening the pleasure derived from living there.

The lost wax process, popularly known as investment or precision casting, was used by the Egyptians to cast their Pharaohs gold jewelry. Fine jewelers and sculptors still consider it the most exacting way to create intricate detailing that cant be produced by conventional manufacturing. Thats why Baldwin chose the method to create Archetypes Chateau and Craftsman Collections.

The Sandcasting method of casting bronze was perfected by craftsmen in the 19th century. This technique remains a superb way to produce authentic, ageless bronze castings, such as the Archetypes Villa Collection.
