Description This handcrafted bronze sculpture is cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a multi-color patina and mounted on a black marble base with an etched brass plate that bears the name of the statue and the artist. Marble base on most statues is included but optional, please let us know if you don’t want your statue mounted on a marble base. Jumbo, Monumental and heroic sizes do not come with a marble base. Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery. Color Choices – The standard way we usually cast and finish many of our sculptures is with what we refer to as multi-color patina. However, Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as other custom finish options. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in natures elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent a patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference. Mounting Nuts, Bolts Welded Under Large Statues For Permanent Installation
