Does anyone have a good source for antique bronze square wire?

I am having customers want that for wire wraps and rings.

I tried to order some, but what was listed as square and flattened square arrived as round. It was supposed to be 18 gauge and was closer to 21 gauge.

Thank you

I had an order for bronze some years ago and found what I needed on Etsy. It wasn't patinaed. I had to patina my work myself, but it was just like doing copper, so it wasn't a problem. Maybe, you could do that. Apparently, Artistic Wire now sells it www.beadalon.com/products/parent_artistic_wire_standard_colors.asp?childskumatch=artistic+wire+bronze
