Life Size Bronze Statues

Life size in solid bronze — figurative and animal studies at human scale and above. Our life size bronze statue collection features standing figures, mounted equestrians, naturalistic animals, and monumental commissioned commercial installations. Each piece weighs 200 kilograms or more and represents the apex of cast bronze craft.

About Our Life Size Bronze Statues

Life size is the threshold at which bronze sculpture becomes architecture, the point where a piece is no longer an ornament you put on a plinth but an installation that defines the space around it. Our life size bronze statue collection brings together every piece in our catalogue that meets this threshold, with every piece handcrafted, made to order, custom sizes available, and produced in our worldwide studios.

The collection includes human figures at full adult scale (150 to 200cm tall), mounted equestrian commissions, animal pieces at species accurate adult scale, and bespoke commissions for civic, corporate and serious private installation. Closely related collections include large bronze sculptures for pieces between collector scale and full life size, life size bronze horse statues, life size bronze bear statues, and grand bronze lion statues for entrance installations.

Every life size piece weighs at least 200 kilograms, and many are over 400kg. Production involves multi section casting and on site assembly for the largest pieces, all coordinated by our team and included in our worldwide free shipping. Designed in Birmingham, England and made in our worldwide studios, lifetime guaranteed.

FAQs

How heavy are life-size bronze statues?

Depending on subject, typically 200 to 500kg for human figures, 300 to 700kg for life-size standing animals (horses, bears, deer, lions), and over 1,000kg for mounted equestrian commissions. Each piece specification includes the exact shipping weight.

Do you handle installation?

We coordinate freight delivery to ground level at your specified address worldwide, included in our free shipping. Installation onto plinths, lifting into final position, base anchoring, and any concrete or stone foundation work is typically handled by local specialists which we can recommend. For monumental pieces (over 500kg) we coordinate the full lift logistics.

What is the largest life-size piece you have shipped?

A life-size African elephant commission to California was approximately 1,800kg and 320cm tall, shipped by sea freight in multiple sections and assembled on-site. The full project (sculpting, casting, freight, assembly) took 10 months from order to installation.

Are life-size pieces always one-piece castings?

Most pieces under 400kg are cast as one piece for structural integrity. Larger pieces are cast in sections (typically 2 to 4 sections) and welded during finishing. The joins are invisible after patination and the piece functions structurally as a single casting.

How long does a life-size bronze commission take?

Standard catalogue life-size pieces are made to order in approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Bespoke life-size commissions take 12 to 16 weeks. Monumental commissions (over life-size, multi-section casting) take 4 to 6 months. All timeframes include design, casting, finishing, and shipping.
