Bronze Sculptures

Bronze is the material sculpture keeps returning to, and it has had four thousand years to prove itself. It casts fine detail, it is strong enough to hold a rearing horse on two legs, and left outside it does not decay but changes, drawing a green and brown patina across the surface that most collectors come to prefer to the new metal.

Every piece here is cast rather than moulded in a substitute, then chased and patinated by hand. That last stage is why two casts of the same model are never identical: the patina is chemistry applied by eye, and it responds to the metal, the heat and the hand. Roughly a quarter of the collection sets bronze against stone or granite for a base or a contrast.

Figures and animals divide the range almost evenly. On the figurative side there are classical gods and emperors, religious subjects, dancers, workers and portrait busts; on the animal side deer, hares, big cats, bulls, birds and life-size horses and elephants. Browse those separately in bronze animal sculptures, bronze busts and heads and Greek and Roman statues.

This is the largest work we make. Seven in ten pieces stand over 160cm and a number pass four metres, because bronze is the only material that will hold that scale outdoors indefinitely. Nearly all of it is made for the open air, which is why so much of the collection also sits within our garden statues and life size and large statues ranges.

Every bronze we make is cast to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios. Standard production takes around three to four weeks, and we offer free worldwide shipping. Get in touch if you would like advice on scale and siting, or to commission a piece to your own brief.
