Product Overview
Model XL25A1-27 is built around a single image: reddish-brown running leopard in full stride. 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 536 × 345 × 480 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The body is one long arc from nose to tail-tip. Musculature is suggested by broad, rising planes rather than deep carving, so the patina pools in the hollows and brightens on the ridges — light does the modelling. The base is kept low and quiet so the animal’s line stays the story.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, 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: The Big Cat as an Emblem of Power and Grace
In the West the big cat is the heraldic emblem of courage; in the East it is the guardian of doorways; and in modern design it has become the shorthand luxury brands reach for when they want to say “fast, sleek, assured”. The design borrows from the way the animal actually moves: a low, stretched spine, shoulder blades rolling, the tail used as a counterbalance. Casting that kinetic tension in bronze freezes it without losing it — the sculpture reads as paused, not posed. It is a frequent choice for entrance halls and reception areas where a piece needs to project energy without shouting.
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 face and paws carry the finest chasing work: whisker pads, claws and eye lines are sharpened by hand under magnification, while the flanks are left broad so the layered patina can shade them naturally.

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. 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.
