Product Overview
The lady playing the guqin – gold-tone bronze sculpture belongs to TYART’s figure collection: a gold-toned lady bending over her guqin in mid-phrase, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a polished golden finish. At 650 × 350 × 980 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.
Poses are balanced for display on flat surfaces: the mass settles over a compact base even when the robes fly, so the sculpture stands secure on consoles and piano tops.
Because every surface is patinated by hand before sealing, the finish has depth: brighter where the forms rise, deeper in the hollows. Placed on lobby floors and large entrance surfaces, the sculpture reads as a lived-in bronze object rather than a plated ornament, and it keeps its tone with nothing more than routine dusting.
Design Inspiration: The Gilded Performer
In Chinese tradition, gilt marks reverence — temple statues and court treasures were gilded for a reason. A gilded musician in the home carries some of that honor into daily life: music as a treasure, culture on display. As a gift it reads generous; in a lobby it reads welcoming.
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.
Twisting poses with extended arms are reinforced internally; each instrument is welded on, dressed and patinated to match the figure so the joins disappear into the gesture.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the gold finish polished brass or patinated bronze?
It is patinated bronze — the golden tone is produced chemically on the bronze surface and then hand-polished in places and sealed. It is not a plated or lacquered finish, so it will not peel or flake.
2. Can I mix several musicians from this series in one display?
Yes — the series is designed as a family: pipa, erhu, guqin and flute players, plus the horseback sheng player, share proportions and finish, so two or three together read as an ensemble. Project orders can take the full 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.
5. 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.
