Cast Copper Sculpture
Copper Scorpion
Scorpio sculptures are cast from brass in detailed insect form, capturing the segmented body, curved tail and clawed legs with precision. The cast pieces are finished to highlight the natural grain and texture of the metal, suitable for display in interior spaces where a sculptural element adds focus without overwhelming the environment. Each piece is built to a buyer's drawing or model, allowing for exact replication of scale and proportion.

- Solid cast construction ensures durability and weight appropriate for display on tables, shelves or plinths
- Natural metal finish highlights the grain and texture of the brass without requiring coating or paint
- Can be made in any size to match a design drawing, not limited to standard catalogue dimensions
- No painted or coated surface to chip, fade or wear under touch or lighting changes
Application Scenarios
- Interior display in high end residential spaces where a single sculptural insect draws attention
- Hotel lobby or reception area feature piece with a natural metal finish that ages well
- Art gallery or exhibition hall display for a themed collection of insect or animal sculptures
- Private collection or designer showroom where a single piece stands as a focal object
- Museum or educational space using naturalistic forms to illustrate biological structure
Who It Is For

- Furniture and decor importers seeking one-off or small batch metal art pieces
Problems It Solves
- Hand-sculpted metal insects often vary in detail and proportion; casting ensures consistent replication
- Painted or coated metal insects lose detail over time and require maintenance
- Standard commercial insect figurines are mass produced with simplified forms and lack realism
- Custom forging of thin metal parts for insect forms is difficult and inconsistent
- Replicating a complex shape like a scorpion’s tail and claws is not feasible with plate forming alone

- Hollow or solid construction based on the design drawing and intended placement
- Base or mounting detail added as required for display on a surface or plinth
- Finish options include natural brass, brushed brass, and colour electroplating
Materials
- Brass ingots or scrap metal melted and poured into the casting mold

- Clean with a soft dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or wet wiping
- If a surface mark appears, it can be gently buffed with a soft cloth without damaging the finish
Manufacturing Process
How This Piece Is Made
- Review of the buyer's drawing or model to confirm scale and detail
- Mold created from the original model using sand or investment casting method
- Brass melted and poured into the mold, then cooled and broken out
- Mold residue and flash removed by grinding and cleaning

Every stage happens in the same workshop in Pingshan, Shenzhen, which is why a set of pieces arrives matching.
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Compared with Hand forged steel insectForging thin, curved parts like a scorpion tail is difficult and inconsistent; casting captures detail reliably
Compared with Resin insect modelResin is lighter but lacks the weight and durability of metal; it also fades under UV light
Compared with Die cast zinc insectZinc casting is cheaper but produces a duller surface and less detailed finish than brass
Compared with Painted metal insectPainted surfaces chip and wear with touch; brass retains its appearance without coating
