Product Overview
Cast by the traditional lost-wax method and finished entirely by hand, this bronze fruit sculpture presents a pair of glossy black cherries leaning on long arched stems. a high-gloss black lacquer finish gives the surface its depth, and the simplified planes keep the design readable in modern interiors. At 180 × 180 × 460 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
Each fruit is drawn as a single swelling volume — no carving, no clutter — with a slender arched stem as the only line of action. The lacquer-smooth surface is polished to a deep gloss, so the piece behaves like glazed ceramic but with the weight and coolness of cast bronze.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, the piece works as a quiet anchor in the room — close enough to touch, solid enough to stay put, and simple to care for with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Design Inspiration: The Still Life, Cast in Bronze
European painting has always loved the still life: seventeenth-century Dutch masters arranged fruit on dark tables to celebrate harvest, trade and the sweetness of the ordinary. This series carries that tradition onto the console table — familiar fruits scaled up, simplified into clean sculptural volumes and finished in glossy lacquer tones. On a sideboard or dining table the group reads instantly: nature’s most everyday shapes, treated with the seriousness of fine sculpture.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
The piece is produced by the traditional lost-wax method. Wax is modelled from the master, invested in a ceramic shell and burnt out, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity, so the finished casting is a hollow bronze shell rather than a solid block — lighter to handle, easier to place, and true to the way fine bronzes have been made for centuries. After casting, the surface is chased and polished by hand, then patinated in layered tones and sealed.
The high-gloss effect is a hand-polished lacquer-tone patina over the bronze, sealed against fingerprints; the mirror shine is checked under raking light before packing.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the surface really glossy like the photos?
Yes — the lacquer-tone finish is hand-polished to a high gloss and then sealed. It reads like glazed ceramic at a distance, with the cool weight of bronze in the hand.
2. Do the fruits come as a set or singly?
Singly, though the series is designed to group: apple, pear and cherry share proportions and stem language, so two or three together read as one composed still life. Tell us which models you want and we will quote the set.
3. Is each sculpture exactly the same?
The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.
4. What is the MOQ?
We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.
5. How is the sculpture packed for shipping?
Each piece is wrapped in protective foam and packed in a reinforced export carton; larger pieces travel in a foam-lined wooden crate. Wooden crates are standard for project shipments.
