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 Youth with Goat and Hound Urn Pair is available in the beautiful sandgreen fire-applied patina as shown. Width: 22" x 41" H

The Bronze Youth with Goat and Hound Urn Pair are an extraordinary pair of large bronze planter urns held up by amazingly well done sculptures of a youth with a dog and the other with a goat. Each features incredible bronze detail. In the one the youth reaches down to pet an admiring classic hound, perhaps a whippet, which looks up adoringly at him. In the second, the youth bends over slightly to touch the horns of a goat resting at his feet. Each youth carries the large planter urn on its shoulder. These planters are again extremely well done and exhibit a leaf motif around the body of the urn. Each ensemble stands at almost 3 1/2 feet in height and exhibit a wonderfully classic profile. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. Inspired by classic world artifacts these urns are a terrific focal point to any setting inside or outside. Perfectly suited to frame a veranda entrance or to flank an magnificent entry. They are just extraordinary.
