The horse is caught in full gallop, three legs lifted and one hoof balanced delicately on a small swallow figure beneath, the entire composition suspended in a moment of impossible, exhilarating motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCast Bronze, Hand-Finished with Aged Verdigris Patina\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is cast using the traditional lost-wax process, a method that preserves every carved detail from the open mouth and visible teeth to the flowing mane swept back by forward momentum and the dynamically positioned tail. The \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eaged green verdigris patina\u003c\/span\u003e has been applied and hand-worked across the entire surface, replicating the character of centuries-old outdoor bronze. The result is a finish that reads as authentically weathered, carrying the visual weight appropriate to a sculpture of this scale. The swallow underfoot, the integral sculptural base element of this composition, is rendered with the same precision as the horse above it, its delicate form a deliberate contrast to the mass it appears to support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 500cm in height and 10,000kg, this is a \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003emonumental bronze sculpture\u003c\/span\u003e suited to large-scale architectural settings: civic plazas, hotel and resort forecourts, corporate headquarters, estate entrance courts, and museum atria. The verdigris finish works equally well against stone, water, and mature planting. The sculpture suits both covered indoor spaces with sufficient ceiling height and fully exposed outdoor environments, where the bronze will continue to develop naturally over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer a full range of patina options beyond the standard verdigris finish, including warm natural bronze, dark brown, and blackened finishes.
