Know before you buy
The hand-applied patina is designed to be durable, but like all bronze finishes, it may evolve slightly over time when exposed to direct sunlight and moisture. This natural weathering process often enhances the character of the statue, giving it a more authentic, aged appearance.
At 24 pounds, the statue has a solid base and significant weight, making it stable for most garden environments. However, if you live in an area prone to extreme wind gusts, you may want to place it on a level surface or consider using a discreet adhesive to secure it to a stone or concrete pedestal.
Yes, cast bronze is highly resistant to moisture and is an excellent material for pond-side placement. While it is durable, we recommend ensuring the statue is placed on a stable, non-slip surface to prevent it from tipping into deeper water.
Because the emerald verde patina is hand-applied, each piece features unique tonal variations. You can expect your statue to have its own distinct character, meaning no two pieces will be identical in their color distribution.
Maintenance is minimal. Simply rinse the statue with clean water and wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the patina finish.
