Product Overview
Standing Lady with a Xiao – Bronze Sculpture is a hollow-cast bronze figure sculpture with a warm brown patina. The subject — a tall lady in a dark bronze robe holding a xiao flute — 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 250 × 250 × 1790 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.
The figure is a clean vertical column, robe falling straight to the base with the hands gathered at the front. The held object breaks the vertical just enough to give the pose intention. Surface planes are smooth and matte, so the sculpture absorbs light rather than reflecting it.
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: Quiet Elegance in Dark Bronze
The objects she holds — the vertical xiao flute, the closed fan — are classic props of Chinese lady portraiture, each standing for a refined accomplishment. The combination suits studies, dressing corners and entrance consoles: unhurried, feminine and literary at the same time.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
Every sculpture is hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method: a wax model is taken from the original master, encased in a ceramic shell, burnt out and replaced with molten bronze. The raw casting is cleaned, welded and refined entirely by hand before the patina is applied layer by layer and sealed. Because the patina is finished by hand, each piece varies slightly in tone and depth — a mark of genuine cast bronze rather than a sprayed imitation.
The robe’s vertical drape lines are combed through at the wax stage; after casting they are lightly eased by hand so the column reads smooth from two meters and detailed from one.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will the dark finish look too heavy in a bright room?
It works in both. In bright, modern rooms the dark figure reads as a grounding accent; in warm, wood-heavy interiors it blends naturally. The hand-washed highlights keep the form readable either way.
2. Can I order this lady without the held object, or with a different one?
The model is tooled with the object shown, which is part of the pose’s balance. For project quantities we can discuss casting the figure without it or adding a custom prop — send us the requirement for a quote.
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.
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.
