Cast Copper Sculpture

The Peacock

The peacock is cast in brass and designed as a screen piece, with detailed feather forms and a vivid surface finish. It is built to a buyer's drawing and can be installed as a standalone feature or integrated into a larger architectural or landscape composition. The casting process preserves fine detail and allows for consistent replication of complex shapes.

Key Benefits

  • Brass casting captures fine feather details and surface texture without the need for additional machining
  • The piece is built to the buyer's drawing, so size and form match the intended installation site
  • Copper and brass materials develop a natural patina over time, which some projects intentionally use for aged or antique appearance
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation with proper surface treatment
  • Replicable across multiple units with consistent detail and finish

Application Scenarios

  • Hotel lobbies and reception areas where a large decorative screen adds visual interest without blocking sightlines
  • Residential entrance halls and stairwells where a sculptural element defines space
  • Museum or exhibition hall entrances with a thematic or cultural reference to birds or ancient art
  • Public plaza features where a large brass screen acts as a backdrop or privacy divider
  • Commercial building foyers where a custom metal screen serves as a brand or identity marker

Who It Is For

  • Interior designers specifying custom metal screens for high-end residential or hospitality projects
  • Property developers sourcing unique architectural features for show units or lobbies
  • Art consultants commissioning custom pieces for public or private installations
  • Municipal or cultural project planners integrating decorative metalwork into public spaces
  • Furniture and decor importers seeking distinctive, hand-cast metal objects for resale

Problems It Solves

  • Standard catalogue screens often have fixed sizes and forms that do not fit a specific architectural layout
  • Replicating intricate feather forms in metal is difficult with welding or forging alone, but casting preserves detail
  • Painted or coated metal screens degrade outdoors or in high-traffic areas, while solid brass maintains integrity
  • Designers need a piece that matches a specific drawing but cannot find a manufacturer that builds to drawing
  • Existing screens are either too small, too generic, or lack the depth of detail found in hand-cast work

Technical Features

  • Copper and brass casting process used to form the peacock body and feather details
  • Cast piece is finished with baked lacquer or electroplating to protect the surface
  • Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
  • Fixing points and mounting details can be added based on site conditions
  • Surface finish options include natural brass, baked lacquer, and colour electroplating

Materials

  • Copper and brass alloy used for casting the peacock body and feathers
  • Baked lacquer or electroplating materials applied after casting to protect the surface

Quality Control

  • Casting checked against the approved drawing for correct proportions and detail
  • Surface of the cast piece inspected for casting defects such as porosity or shrinkage
  • Finish applied evenly and checked under light for consistency
  • Protective film applied to all exposed surfaces before packing

Customization Options

  • Any size and form built to the buyer's drawing
  • Finish options include natural brass, baked lacquer, or colour electroplating
  • Fixing details adapted to wall, floor, or freestanding installation
  • One sample piece produced for approval before full production

Use Guide

  • Send the layout drawing or sketch with intended size and mounting method
  • Confirm whether the piece is for indoor or outdoor use to select the appropriate finish
  • Leave the protective film in place until the surrounding construction is complete
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid abrasive cleaners on the finish
  • Reapply protective coating if the surface shows wear after long-term exposure

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Compared with Welded steel screenWelded steel requires more fabrication and cannot capture fine feather detail as well as casting
Compared with Painted metal screenPainted finishes wear and chip over time, while baked lacquer or electroplating on cast brass lasts longer
Compared with Resin imitationResin cannot achieve the weight, depth, or surface quality of a solid brass cast
Compared with 304 stainless steel screenStainless steel is lighter and more reflective, but lacks the warm, antique appearance of brass
