How to Order a Sculpture

To order a sculpture or enquire about a price and availability please use the contact form.

The process

Most sculptures are cast to order and the casting and finishing process will take approximately 8 -12 weeks depending on the size, complexity and the foundry schedules. This is typically from the date of ordering and payment has been received. Each sculpture is individually hand cast in bronze and numbered and has a strict limited edition.The foundry process is complex and consist of multiple stages to ultimately create a bronze cast faithful in all detail to the original clay sculpture. I personally finish every wax cast from the mould to ensure its accuracy and I also check every metal cast in it’s raw state before approving it to be coloured.

The patinas

Every effort is made to match as closely as possible the patinas of each sculpture within an edition to those shown on the website, individual patinas will vary slightly from piece to piece within an edition as each one is hand patinated. If you have specific requirements, within reason that is (no pink elephants) such as a little darker or lighter I am happy to consider and inform and discuss with the foundry. No guarantees on exact patina.

Please note that patinas may also look different due to elements beyond our control. For example, your computer monitor may be calibrated differently, also the lighting of a piece will bring out the colours different in your room in comparison to the product photography produced.
