'true-to-size',
incredibly detailed and skilfully resemble the bird they represent.
The only exception to this is
our
fun range of insects, which are larger than life! Normal Finish
Sculptures Normal Finish is an attractive brown metal, with varying degrees of
warm,
subtle hues, and this is the standard finish for all our range. Bronzed Finish
Sculptures Bronzed Finish is where the same reclaimed metal has been
copper-plated
to give a 'bronzed effect'. It is not 'bronze' and will not go green
with
age, but the copper-plating acts as an extra protection to the sculpture
and
may need a bi-annual coat of varnish to keep this patina in good
condition
ie. a quick coat of varnish in Spring and Autumn! Individual
Hand-Crafted
Sculptures As each sculpture is indvidually hand-crafted, it may
vary
slightly and have a slightly different head movement, etc. Also, there
is
a limit to the number of sculptures produced, so if we do not have a
design
in stock, we can order one to be made up (3-6 month wait).
Alternatively,
as we have other styles in stock, it is always worth sending us an
email,or
calling us for a chat, to discuss your requirements, and we can send
digital
photos of suitable alternatives either by email or post.
