The result is a \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003ewarm reddish-brown bronze patina\u003c\/span\u003e that deepens with outdoor exposure, building character over time. Cast iron legs and warm-toned timber slats form the bench itself, making the seat both a sculptural element and a functional park bench you can sit beside, or on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 170cm and 180kg, this is a \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003elife-size bronze figure sculpture\u003c\/span\u003e with genuine physical presence. It suits public gardens, landscaped courtyards, estate grounds, and civic spaces equally well. The warm patina reads beautifully against stone paving, gravel, or manicured lawn, and holds its own across seasons without maintenance beyond an occasional wax treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatina options include classic dark brown, verdigris green, and natural polished bronze.
