Product Overview
Model XLA1-06 is built around a single image: a lady in a flowing blue robe playing the erhu on a tall rectangular base. The piece is hollow-cast by the traditional lost-wax method, then patinated and sealed by hand, so a deep blue patina sits over crisp, hand-chased detail. At 420 × 180 × 1250 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.
The instrument is modeled with enough detail to read instantly — bow arm, fingerboard or flute angle — but without busy surface carving, so the sculpture stays smooth and modern. The tall rectangular base keeps the composition architectural.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a lobby floor or large entrance surface, 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 Lady Musician in Blue
In the West, the music-making figure has a long pedigree — from classical muses to Art Deco figurines of dancers and players — and it always carries the same message: culture, refinement and the pleasure of a well-run home. This model takes that tradition and dresses it in a flowing blue robe, one of the most universally loved colors in interior styling. The lady is absorbed in her instrument, so the piece feels private and calm rather than decorative — the kind of sculpture that makes a room feel lived-in and cultivated.
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.
Hands and finger positions are refined at the wax stage and checked after casting; the instrument is welded and dressed by hand so the line from elbow to fingertip stays unbroken.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which instruments are available in this blue-robe series?
The series includes the erhu, the guqin and flute players, each a separate model with its own pose. Contact us for photos of the full series to choose the instruments that fit your project.
2. Does the blue patina fade over time?
No. The color is a hand-applied chemical patina on bronze, sealed after finishing — it is not paint. Kept indoors and dusted normally, the tone holds for years of display.
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.
