Giant Sculptures' 80cm Large Classical David Bust in dark bronze with warm brown highlights, head turned slightly, mounted on a tiered rectangular plinth against a light grey background.
Large Classical David Bust Bronze Bust - 80cm $18,60200
Description

The Large Classical David Bust Bronze Bust stands 80 centimetres tall and presents one of the most enduring subjects in Western sculpture with considered craft and commanding physical presence. The figure is rendered forward-facing with the head turned subtly to one side, the muscular chest, shoulders, and upper abdomen resolved in exceptional anatomical detail, the whole composition truncated cleanly above the midriff and mounted on an integrated tiered rectangular plinth.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished

This bust is produced using the traditional lost-wax casting method, a process that preserves the fine surface modelling of the original before each piece is finished individually by hand. The result is a dark bronze patina with warm brown highlights that draw out the depth of the musculature; subtle oxidation settles into the recessed areas of the chest and curling classical hair treatment, adding tonal complexity that flat finishes cannot replicate. The weight of 80 kilograms confirms the density of the cast; this is solid, substantial work that reads as a handmade bronze bust rather than a reproduction.

At 80 centimetres the piece occupies a meaningful but not overwhelming footprint. It suits a substantial plinth or pedestal in an entrance hall, library, study, or formal reception room. Against stone, dark timber, or plastered wall surfaces the dark patina reads with particular authority. The classical subject and finish also translate well to courtyard gardens, covered terraces, and outdoor gallery settings where a classical bronze sculpture of this scale holds its own against architectural planting and hard landscaping.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

The patina shown here is a dark bronze with warm brown highlight, but we offer a range of alternatives including verdigris, natural mid-brown, and polished warm gold. Scale adjustments are available: the composition can be produced at reduced or increased height to suit a specific architectural setting. For clients seeking a commission inspired by the work of Michelangelo, we are experienced in producing bespoke interpretations to brief. Contact us before ordering to discuss your requirements and confirm lead time.

Production Time

Every sculpture is handmade to order by our artisans — we do not mass-produce.

  • Standard sculptures: approximately 3–4 weeks from order confirmation.
  • Bespoke commissions (custom sizes, finishes, or fully custom designs): approximately 5–6 weeks from design sign-off.

Production time is separate from delivery time.

Free Worldwide Shipping

Shipping is free worldwide on every sculpture, regardless of destination.

  • Sculptures under 50cm — shipped by air freight. Typical delivery 1–2 weeks after production is complete.
  • Sculptures 50cm and above — shipped by sea freight. Typical delivery 6–8 weeks after production is complete.

For larger sculptures where faster delivery is needed, air freight is available at additional cost — contact us before ordering for a quote.

All sculptures ship in reinforced protective crating, fully insured to purchase value.

Delivery to Your Address

Delivery is to the door or curbside at your shipping address.

For larger sculptures shipped by sea freight, the carrier will contact you in advance to arrange a delivery window. Please ensure someone is available to accept the delivery and that the property has suitable access for the size of the piece.

Once the sculpture arrives, you are responsible for positioning it in its final display location. For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend arranging two people (family, friends, or a local moving service) to help with placement.

International Orders & Customs

For orders shipping outside the United Kingdom, any customs duties, import taxes, or local fees at your destination country are the responsibility of the customer. These charges are set by your local authority and are not included in our shipping cost.

If you have questions about customs for your specific country, contact us before ordering and we can advise on typical charges for your region.

Lifetime Guarantee

Every sculpture carries a lifetime guarantee against finish defects under normal display conditions, subject to our Terms & Conditions.

The metal of antiquity

Solid Cast Bronze

Every one of our cast bronze sculptures is poured in solid bronze, the alloy sculptors have prized for more than five thousand years. It is heavier, warmer and far more enduring than any resin imitation, giving each bronze statue a depth and presence that only real metal can.

Poured by hand

Foundry Cast

Each piece is cast in a working foundry, where molten bronze is poured at over a thousand degrees, then cooled, broken out and worked by hand. It is a craft refined over centuries, and it is the reason every bronze sculpture carries the mark of the people who made it.

Made to your measure

Fully Bespoke

Have something specific in mind? We can scale the size, choose the patina and take on full commissions, casting a one-off bronze sculpture to your exact brief. Tell us what you picture, and our artists will make it.

A finish that lives

Hand-Patinated

Colour is brought to bronze by hand. Our finishers work each patina with heat and patience, so no two pieces are ever quite the same. Left outdoors, that patina keeps evolving, softening from bright metal into the deep greens and browns that collectors prize.

Built to outlast us all

Weatherproof for Life

Bronze has survived three thousand years of history, and ours is made to do the same. It shrugs off rain, frost and sun, which is exactly what makes bronze garden statues such a sound investment. Every piece is backed by our lifetime guarantee.

Anywhere in the world

Free Worldwide Shipping

Solid bronze is heavy, so we handle the hard part. Every sculpture travels by fully insured worldwide sea freight and arrives at your door in perfect condition, with nothing to pay on delivery.

Two large, black bear-shaped sculptures stand indoors near a window with a view of a yard. One sculpture is in the foreground with its back to the viewer, and the other faces forward, creating a mirrored effect. Trees and a chair are visible outside.
A shiny metallic bear sculpture stands on the corner of a modern buildings patio, mirrored by another similar black figure in the foreground. The area features minimalistic architecture with large glass windows.
