Problems It Solves

  • Standard decorative items are mass produced and lack unique detail, while this is cast to a specific design
  • Painted or coated metal pieces degrade over time indoors, but cast brass and bronze retain their form and surface
  • Catalogue sculptures often come in fixed sizes that don’t fit a given space, but this is built to the buyer’s drawing
  • Replicating a detailed animal form with hand tools is impractical, but casting allows consistent reproduction
  • Indoor sculptures need to be stable and non-fading; cast metal meets both requirements
