Product Overview
Cast by the traditional lost-wax method and finished entirely by hand, this bronze songbird presents birds on withered lotus stems with gold leaves. a hand-applied patina gives the surface its depth, and the simplified planes keep the design readable in modern interiors. At 330 × 130 × 500 mm (supplied in 2 sizes), it is sized for desks, shelves and console tops.
The branch is the backbone of the composition: it rises, kinks and levels in a single drawn line, with leaves or fruit placed to balance the bird’s weight. The bird itself is compact, with the head turned slightly to give the piece its life.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a desk, shelf or console top, 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
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
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.
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. 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.
