Apsaras Dancing and Playing No.2 – Bronze

Product Overview

Apsaras Dancing and Playing No.2 – Bronze is a hollow-cast bronze apsaras sculpture with a hand-applied patina. The subject — a dancing apsaras with gold and blue ribbons, another pose — is drawn with clean sculptural planes rather than surface fuss, so the piece reads clearly from across the room and keeps rewarding detail up close. At 580 × 380 × 1800 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.

Closed loops give the piece its balance: the eye enters at the figure, follows a ribbon around and returns. It is sculpture that keeps you moving, ideal for open lobbies and display plinths.

The patina is built up in layers and sealed, which means tone varies slightly from piece to piece — the mark of genuine hand finishing rather than a sprayed imitation. On a lobby floor or large entrance surface, it holds its own without competing with the furniture around it, and it needs no more care than an occasional soft-cloth dusting.

Design Inspiration: The Flying Apsaras

The apsaras stands for artistry that transcends the ground — imagination, music, freedom from constraint. In a home she brings an uplifting note; in hotels and cultural venues she signals hospitality raised to art. The ribbon loop closes visually from every side, so the sculpture rewards a slow walk around it.

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 ribbon loops are cast hollow with graded thickness and braced internally; each loop is measured, welded and dressed so the curve runs unbroken from tip to base.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do the apsaras figures have wings?

No — and that is the point. Apsaras fly on ribbons rather than wings, the Chinese answer to the Western winged victory. The bands you see looping around the figure are her flight.

2. Can I take several pieces from the series for one display?

Yes — the series shares pose language, scale and finish, so two or three apsaras grouped on a long console or staggered on plinths read as one sky. Project pricing is available for the set.

3. Can I order this piece in a different color?

Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.

4. 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.
