Each figurine has a unique finish Designed and sculpted by Keith Sherwin. The Kingfisher is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design is finished by the art of patination where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create a deep rich brown patina. The bird and foliage are delicately hand painted using artist’s oils. Then bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come. Your beautiful Kingfisher is beautifully presented in a wooden presentation box containing a signed certificate of authenticity. The bronze is engraved with the sculptor’s signature and limited edition number, matching the certificate enclosed. This piece is a traditional foundry solid bronze sculpture, and not the cheap cold cast resin which some mistaken sellers call bronze. Crafted using the “lost wax” hot cast method, a highly skilled process used for over 3500 years, and completed with a beautiful patina finish, these techniques guarantee that no two items will ever be identical. Keith was born in Stoke on Trent, the home of the Potteries and trained as a ceramic artist with Royal Doulton at the Burslem Factory. As a self-taught Sculptor working in clay he has produced a variety of subjects such as dogs, cats, wildlife and human form. Richard Cooper & Company work with UK sculptors and designers to create stunning and unique foundry bronze sculptures.
