Product Overview
This bronze takes a seated green-robed lady with her guqin across her lap as its subject and edits everything else away — no clutter, no fuss, just the gesture and the presence of the figure carried in hollow-cast bronze. a hand-applied green patina is applied by hand and sealed. It is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The seated silhouette is compact and triangular: robe spreading to the base, torso leaning gently toward the instrument, face tilted in concentration. The green robe carries the color; the gilded face and hands draw the eye to the performer.
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
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.
Two patinas meet in one figure: the verdigris green of the robe is applied first and masked, then the face and hands are polished and sealed in a warm gilt — a two-stage finish done entirely by hand.

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.
