Product Overview
Model XL21A2-19 is built around a single image: winged tiger. The piece is hollow-cast by the traditional lost-wax method, then patinated and sealed by hand, so a hand-applied patina sits over crisp, hand-chased detail. At 461 × 273 × 165 mm (supplied in 2 sizes), it is sized for desks, shelves and console tops.
Proportions follow the real animal: low-set shoulders, a deep chest, and a long counterbalancing tail. Surface detail is restrained — the face, paws and tail-tip carry the fine work, while the flanks stay smooth and sculptural.
Because every surface is patinated by hand before sealing, the finish has depth: brighter where the forms rise, deeper in the hollows. Placed on desks, shelves and console tops, 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 Big Cat as an Emblem of Power and Grace
From the lions on European coats of arms to the guardian tigers of Asian art, big cats have always meant the same things: power, focus and quiet confidence. This bronze takes the opposite approach to a literal wildlife study: the animal’s gesture is captured at the moment of commitment — weight forward, eyes ahead — and the body is resolved into long, flowing planes. The emphasis falls on rhythm and line rather than fur detail, which is what lets the piece hold its own in a contemporary lobby as well as a collector’s cabinet.
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.
Special care is taken with the spine line and tail: after casting, the whole curve is checked against a template and trued by hand, so the silhouette stays flowing from every viewing angle.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the big cat modeled from a real animal?
The pose and proportions are drawn from how the animal actually moves — weight distribution, spine line and tail balance follow feline anatomy. The surface treatment, however, is deliberately simplified so the piece reads as sculpture rather than taxidermy.
2. Can the cat be posed differently, for example standing instead of running?
Each model is cast from its own master mold, so the pose shown is the pose supplied. If your project needs a different gesture, we can quote for a modified or commissioned version — send us your scene and requirements.
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?
