Bronze Pelican

The Bronze Pelican sculpture is a remarkable piece of art. Finished in black bronze, this piece comes to life through a multi-step lost-wax casting process. After casting, the artist adds thoughtful touches like polishing or additional finishes to complete the look, illustrated here by the shine of the pelican itself juxtaposed against the matte finish of its perch. This sculpt is a terrific addition to any garden setting inside or outside and will be the grand centerpiece of any tableau.

Bronze Pelican Detail

The Bronze Pelican is cast by the traditional, Lost Wax Bronze Casting method (links to a full description of the method). This labor intensive and time consuming method of casting bronze statues, ensure pristine quality and vivid detail. This Bronze Pelican features intricate, hand forged details with a beautiful brown fire-applied patina.

Applying patina to bronze using the French method (fire and heat) is an age old traditional skill requiring expert craftsmanship. Each patina is hand applied and the patination result may vary making each sculpt unique. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in natures elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent a patina from forming.

The Bronze Pelican is available in the Classic Bronze / Verdigris patina as shown.
