Seated Lady Playing the Flute – Bronze Sculpture

Product Overview

Seated Lady Playing the Flute – Bronze Sculpture is a hollow-cast bronze figure sculpture with a hand-applied green patina. The subject — a seated green-robed lady playing a transverse flute — is drawn with clean sculptural planes rather than surface fuss, so the piece reads clearly from across the room and keeps rewarding detail up close. At 600 × 270 × 730 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.

Instruments are modeled close to the body, so the figure stays smooth-edged and modern — suitable for low cabinets and media consoles where projecting parts would be vulnerable.

Because every surface is patinated by hand before sealing, the finish has depth: brighter where the forms rise, deeper in the hollows. Placed on sideboards, consoles and reception counters, 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 Seated Ensemble

Western sculpture has its seated muses — calm figures absorbed in thought or art, ideal for library and lounge. This series borrows that seated calm for the Chinese musician: a green-robed lady with a gilded face, sitting with her guqin, erhu or flute, mid-phrase. The seated pose lowers the sculpture’s center of gravity, making it feel settled and intimate — a piece for rooms where people actually sit and talk.

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.

The seated pose is cast hollow with uniform walls and checked for balance; the wide robe hem doubles as a stable base ring for level placement on flat surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the face gilded while the robe is green?

The two-tone finish follows a classic Chinese sculpture logic: gilding honors the figure, verdigris dresses the body. It also helps at a distance — the warm face keeps the sculpture human even when the robe blends into the interior.

2. Do the seated musicians work as a set?

Yes. The guqin, flute and erhu players share the same robe, finish and scale, so they can be grouped as a small ensemble on a long console — a favorite arrangement for hotels and restaurants.

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.
