Product Overview
Model XLA1-42 is built around a single image: a tall lady in a dark bronze robe holding a closed fan. The piece is hollow-cast by the traditional lost-wax method, then patinated and sealed by hand, so a warm brown patina sits over crisp, hand-chased detail. At 250 × 250 × 1820 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.
Proportion is quietly elongated, and the face is softly abstracted — details kept minimal so the dark patina and the gesture do all the work.
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: Quiet Elegance in Dark Bronze
Dark-patina portrait figures have an established place in Western interiors — the Edwardian statuette, the bronze lady on a library mantel — because a deep, uniform tone reads as quiet, expensive and easy to live with. This series keeps that restraint: a tall lady in a dark bronze robe, holding a single object, doing nothing dramatic. It is sculpture as a soft spoken presence rather than a statement.
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.
The deep bronze tone is achieved with a dark patina washed back by hand on the high points — chest, hands, the held object — so the figure stays legible in low-light corners instead of going flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will the dark finish look too heavy in a bright room?
It works in both. In bright, modern rooms the dark figure reads as a grounding accent; in warm, wood-heavy interiors it blends naturally. The hand-washed highlights keep the form readable either way.
2. Can I order this lady without the held object, or with a different one?
The model is tooled with the object shown, which is part of the pose’s balance. For project quantities we can discuss casting the figure without it or adding a custom prop — send us the requirement for a quote.
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.
