One effective method for dating metallic sculptures, bronzes, medals, antiques, and antiquities is through metal content analysis. By determining the composition and purity of the metals in an alloy — including the specific types and percentages used — we can compare this data against established reference samples from different historical periods.

If you have a metal object you’d like to date, feel free to contact us — our team may be able to assist you.

Please note that scientific dating is just one part of the process. Other important clues include where the object was found or excavated, what it depicts, how it was made, and its stylistic or cultural features.
