Bronze sculpture has been a form of artistic expression for thousands of years, with the medium known for its durability and timeless beauty. The Stephan and Siobahn sculpture set is a prime example of this art form's enduring appeal. This life-size buck and doe pair, crafted using the traditional lost wax casting method, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into creating such a piece.

The lost wax casting process is a labor-intensive method that has been used since ancient times. It involves creating a wax model of the sculpture, which is then encased in a mold. The wax is melted away, leaving a cavity that is filled with molten bronze. Once cooled, the mold is broken away, revealing the bronze sculpture within. This technique allows for the creation of intricate details and textures, as seen in the fur and facial features of Stephan and Siobahn.

The choice of patina—chestnut brown or maple—adds to the sculpture's aesthetic, giving it a warm, natural finish that enhances the lifelike quality of the figures. The dimensions of the sculpture, standing at 26 inches wide, 55 inches deep, and 76 inches high, along with its substantial weight of 325 pounds, make it a commanding presence in any setting.

Designed to be displayed outdoors, the sculpture is not only an artistic statement but also a testament to the skill of its creators. Made in the USA, it reflects the country's rich tradition of bronze sculpture and the modern continuation of age-old techniques.

The Stephan and Siobahn sculpture set is more than just a decorative piece; it is a celebration of wildlife, art, and the enduring legacy of bronze sculpting. Whether placed in a garden, park, or private estate, this sculpture set is sure to captivate and inspire, becoming a cherished part of any collection.
