Craftsmanship & Materials
Small Copper Elephant designed as a refined decorative piece for luxury interiors
This Small Copper Elephant is designed as an elegant decorative object that brings warmth, balance, and a sense of serenity into refined interior spaces. The sculptural form highlights the elephant’s gentle posture and symbolic strength, creating a decorative accent that feels both inviting and sophisticated. The surface is carefully finished to enhance material depth and visual softness, allowing the piece to blend naturally into high-end interior décor.
As a premium bronze sulpture, this decorative piece emphasizes durability and refined surface quality while maintaining a timeless decorative style. The finishing process introduces subtle texture and tonal variation, adding visual richness without excessive ornamentation. These details give the sculpture a warm and elegant appearance, making it suitable for interiors that value understated luxury and meaningful animal-inspired decorative elements.
Designed for upscale living rooms, shelves, consoles, or curated decorative arrangements, this statue functions as a subtle yet distinctive focal accent. Its compact presence allows it to complement both contemporary and classic interiors without overwhelming the surrounding décor. The elephant motif adds harmony and positive symbolism, making this piece an ideal choice for luxury interior decoration with a refined and welcoming character.
An Animal Sculpture crafted for refined interior decoration
Please note that each Animal Sculpture is crafted individually rather than mass-produced. As a result, slight variations in surface texture or finish may occur, ensuring the uniqueness and decorative character of every Animal Sculpture.
Materials & Manufacturing Technique
- Material Composition: High-density art copper alloy (Cu 97–99%), melted in thermally insulated crucibles to preserve isotropic grain alignment and prevent hydrogen embrittlement during pour.
- Casting Technique: Handmade lost-wax hot investment casting executed above 1,120 °C (2,048 °F), using a multi-layer ceramic refractory shell, kiln de-waxing, and laminar gravity-pour to achieve void-free metallurgical cohesion.
- Artisan Metal Chasing: Post-cast definition enhanced with tungsten-carbide micro-scribes and precision chisels to refine trunk articulation, auricular tension planes, and flank motion geometry.
- Surface Conditioning: Sequential micro-abrasion cycle (240 → 600 → 1200 → 2000 grit) followed by palm-planishing to unify copper grain, eliminate shell-lift micro-artifacts, and amplify sculptural legibility.
- Polishing Cycle: Multi-stage mechanical polishing and final hand-buffing using non-silicone compounds to produce a warm, controlled copper glow, optimized for light diffusion rather than harsh specular peaks.
- Patina Behavior Control: Copper surface optionally toned through mild sulfide or nitrate fuming, then sealed to maintain intentional color depth without triggering uncontrolled verdigris bloom.
- Oxidation Protection: Finished piece is sealed with conservation-grade microcrystalline wax or transparent archival lacquer to stabilize tonal evolution and block non-uniform oxidation anomalies.
- Base: No base included — mass distribution calibrated for stable placement on flat surfaces (desktop, console, or gallery shelf).
- Dimensions (H × L × W): 21 × 19 × 8 cm
- Dimensions (inches): 8.27 × 7.48 × 3.15 in
- Weight: Approx. 2.7 kg (5.95 lb), density-calibrated for vibration-free static display stability.
