Product Overview
Cast by the traditional lost-wax method and finished entirely by hand, this bronze songbird presents gold wing rising from a polished egg on a black marble base. a hand-applied patina gives the surface its depth, and the simplified planes keep the design readable in modern interiors. At 300 × 180 × 1040 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.
Where leaves are used they are cast thin with softly rolled edges; where fruit is used it is polished as a bright accent. Both are kept sparse — the design is a sketch in bronze, not a still life.
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: Birds, Branches and Good News
Small birds carry big meanings: joy, spring, messages arriving, the promise that the garden is alive. The design respects the scale of the subject — fine legs, a neat head, feathers suggested rather than counted — and lets the branch give the composition its line.
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.
Leaves are burnished along their edges so they catch light when the piece is walked past — a small effect that makes the bronze feel alive.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do birds symbolize on a branch?
Good news and joy — in Chinese tradition birds arriving on a branch signal happy words on the way, and Western tradition reads the songbird as spring and homecoming. Fruiting branches add wishes of abundance. The subject suits studies, living rooms and entrances.
2. Is the bird fixed to the branch?
Yes. Bird, branch and leaves are cast and assembled as one sculpture; the joints are welded and dressed so the composition is a single piece that handles safely.
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.
