Cold patina was very popular in the Art Deco period. The metal: bronze, spelter, etc. would be covered with chemicals to create the bluish green tone. Usually ammonium chlorite and cupric chloride was used to achieve the desirable tone. Since the finish was quite fragile and could wear off, a seal and or wax was used for protection.
