Copper Craft Eagle
The Copper Craft Eagle is a hand-cast sculpture made from cast copper and brass, shaped to reflect the form and presence of a bird in flight. It is designed for placement in high-end architectural settings where a single piece of metal art becomes a focal point. The casting process captures fine surface detail, and the finish can be adjusted to suit the surrounding environment, from a natural patina to a polished surface.

Application Scenarios
- Hotel lobbies and reception areas where a single large sculpture defines the space
- Resort entrance plazas and courtyard features that need a strong visual anchor
- Exhibition halls and art galleries requiring a standalone metal sculpture with presence
- Private residences and executive suites where a crafted metal piece adds character

Who It Is For
- Hotel and resort interior designers sourcing permanent art for public areas

- Municipal parks and plaza projects needing a durable, non-painted metal sculpture

Problems It Solves
- Standard cast metal sculptures often have surface flaws or weak points that show over time; hand casting allows for inspection and correction before final finish
- Catalogue sculptures are limited in size and form, but this piece can be built to a specific drawing regardless of scale
- Painted or coated metal fails in high-traffic or humid environments; cast copper and brass maintain integrity without coating
- Buyers cannot always match a sculpture’s finish to the surrounding architecture; the finish is adjusted to the site condition
- Existing sculptures may not fit the intended space due to fixed dimensions; this one is sized to the layout
Technical Features
- Body cast from copper and brass using a sand or investment casting method
- Surface details preserved through precise mold making and controlled cooling
- Internal structure designed to maintain balance and reduce weight for mounting
- Finish options include mirror polish, brushed satin, natural patina, and baked lacquer
- Mounting points and fixing details built into the base during casting
Materials
- Copper and brass ingots for casting
- Sand or investment mold material for the casting process
- Stainless steel or brass mounting hardware for fixing to wall or base
Quality Control
- Mold inspected for accuracy before casting begins
- Casting checked for shrinkage, air pockets, or surface defects after removal
- Finish applied and inspected under light for consistency and surface flaws
- Mounting points tested for strength and alignment before final packing
- Protective film applied to all finished surfaces before crating
Customization Options
- Any size and height built to the buyer’s drawing, not limited by standard sizes
- Finish selected per piece or per group: mirror polish, brushed, patina, or baked lacquer
- Mounting method adapted to wall, floor, or pedestal installation
- One sample piece produced for approval before full production begins
Use Guide
- Send the layout drawing or sketch with intended height, mounting method, and location marked
- Confirm whether the piece will be indoors, under cover, or exposed to weather, as this affects finish and mounting
- Keep the protective film in place until the surrounding installation is complete
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild water; avoid abrasive cleaners on polished or patinated surfaces
- If a surface is scratched during installation, it can be re-polished or re-treated locally
Manufacturing Process
How This Piece Is Made
- Review of the buyer’s drawing or sketch to confirm scale and mounting condition
- Mold made from the approved drawing to ensure accurate casting
- Copper and brass melted and poured into the mold with controlled cooling
- Casting removed from mold and cleaned, with internal structure checked for balance
- Surface ground and finished to the selected option: mirror polish, brushed, patina or lacquer
- Fixing points welded or embedded, protective film applied, and crating prepared for export
Every stage happens in the same workshop in Pingshan, Shenzhen, which is why a set of pieces arrives matching.
