| Description |
Part of the now-ongoing conservation of the Grant Memorial entails replacing over 100 missing bronze elements, including buckles, swords, chain links, straps and bridle parts. In the near-century since the memorial was unveiled in 1922, many small details have been lost due to vandalism and aging. New pieces are being cast in a Philadelphia foundry under the watchful eye of the conservator and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) team monitoring the conservation project. Care is being taken to ensure that the replicated pieces for the Grant Memorial are skillfully modeled and cast, preserving the artistic integrity. Once attached, the new pieces will be patinated to blend in with the rest of the monument, and only close inspection will reveal that they are stamped with a foundry mark that distinguishes them as modern replacements. Full details on the Grant Memorial Restoration project are at <a href="http://www.aoc.gov/grant" rel="nofollow">www.aoc.gov/Grant</a>.
