Large Contemporary Leaping Dolphin Bronze Sculpture by Giant Sculptures in light grey-blue finish, mouth gripping a mailbox marked 27670, on a plain background.
Large Contemporary Leaping Dolphin Bronze Sculpture - 170cm $76,24400
Description

The Large Contemporary Leaping Dolphin Bronze Sculpture stands at an imposing 170cm, depicting a dolphin caught in a dynamic mid-leap, its arching body rising from a tail-formed base into a confident, upward pose. The open mouth presents an integrated metal mailbox housing, making this piece as purposeful as it is striking at any residential entrance or garden gateway.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished

Cast using the traditional lost-wax method, this sculpture is built to the exacting standards of handcrafted bronze sculpture. Every curve of the dolphin's body, from the swept tail anchored into the ground to the lifted rostrum at the summit, is formed through successive stages of hand-finishing and surface refinement. The piece carries a light grey-blue coated finish rather than a conventional verdigris patina, lending it a contemporary, architectural quality that reads cleanly against stone, brick, gravel, or planting. At 120kg, the structural mass ensures long-term stability in an outdoor setting without additional fixings.

Scaled for prominent outdoor placement, this large bronze dolphin statue suits driveway entrances, coastal garden schemes, commercial forecourts, and waterside terraces. The neutral surface tone sits comfortably against pale render, natural stone cladding, and mature planting. As a functional sculpture, it provides a practical mailbox solution while serving as an unambiguous centrepiece for any exterior approach.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

We can adapt the surface finish to a traditional dark bronze patina, a warm golden tone, or a verdigris effect to suit your setting. The integrated mailbox housing can be configured to display your own house number or address plate. Scale modifications are available on request. If you are considering a bespoke version, contact us before ordering so we can discuss specifications in detail.

Shipping & Returns

Every sculpture at Giant Sculptures is handmade to order, then shipped worldwide free of charge. Below is everything you need to know before you order, and what to expect after.

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.

30-Day Returns

We accept 30-day returns on sculptures in original condition and original packaging, subject to our Terms & Conditions.

To start a return, contact us within 30 days of receipt. Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is at the customer's cost.

Bespoke and custom-commissioned pieces are non-refundable once production has started, as they are made specifically to your specification.

Damage in Transit

Every sculpture ships fully insured. In the unlikely event of damage during transit:

  1. Report the damage within 48 hours of delivery.
  2. Provide clear photographs of both the damage and the packaging.
  3. We arrange collection and either replacement or full refund at no cost to you.

Lifetime Guarantee

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

This covers manufacturing defects, premature finish degradation, and structural failures under normal display. It does not cover damage caused by accidents, misuse, inappropriate environments (for example, an indoor-only sculpture placed outdoors), or modifications made after delivery.
