Product Overview
Among TYART’s animal bronzes, this bird stands out for the way a hand-applied patina plays over its forms: bird perched on a bronze branch with gold leaves, two heights. The modelling is calm and confident, built from broad planes that catch light along the silhouette. At 230 × 130 × 900 mm (supplied in 2 sizes), 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 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 lobby floor or large entrance surface, 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: Birds, Branches and Good News
A songbird on a branch is good news in any language: in Chinese painting the arriving bird is the messenger of joyful words — the magpie’s very name contains the word for joy — while in Western art songbirds have long stood for spring, homecoming and the quiet poetry of a garden. This bronze keeps that scene in miniature: a bird, a branch, and the space around them doing the rest. It is a quiet subject that suits studies, bedrooms, tea rooms and entrances alike.
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. 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.
