Product Overview
Model XLA1-47 is built around a single image: a seated lady in gray-green bronze playing the erhu. The piece is hollow-cast by the traditional lost-wax method, then patinated and sealed by hand, so a gray-green patina sits over crisp, hand-chased detail. At 250 × 360 × 680 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The lady sits with a gently forward-leaning torso, arms engaged with her instrument, robe pooling around the seat in smooth folds. The gray-green tone is soft and mineral, with hand-polished highlights on the shoulders and instrument.
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 sideboard, console or reception counter, 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: A Quiet Gray-Green Note
The seated pose comes from Chinese chamber music tradition — the player sits, the instrument rests, time slows. Set in a living room, the sculpture suggests an interlude: music about to begin or just ended. It is a gentle way to bring cultural depth into a modern interior without loud color.
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 gray-green finish is a layered patina over the bronze, hand-polished on the high planes and softly shaded in the folds, then sealed against fingerprints and daily handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the gray-green finish need any special care?
No. The finish is a patina on bronze, sealed after finishing — it is not paint or plating. An occasional dry-cloth dusting keeps it fresh; no polishing compounds are needed, and the tone holds indoors for years.
2. Is this model available with other instruments?
The seated series includes the erhu and flute players as separate models, each with its own pose. Contact us for the current series photos and availability.
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.
