Our bronze rabbit garden statue is cast to scale and accurately mirrors an adult rabbit’s body shape and features. It’s in an alert, crouching position, ready to react quickly to any danger. Our bronze rabbit has a face full of character with wide-open eyes. Its long ears are a real feature bringing the height to 31cm. Being made from bronze, it feels solid when held, weighing 4kg and will stand upright if displayed outside, even in strong winds. The casting quality is reflected in the level of detail and relief. This bronze rabbit garden statue can be kept outside in the garden or inside as an ornament.

Our bronze statues and fountains are handmade using the ‘lost wax’ casting process. This is a traditional method for casting metal which dates back to 3000 BC. It’s a long and labour intensive process but the results are worth it. The lost wax method consistently delivers high quality, detailed pieces. All our statues are finished by experienced craftsmen and glazed using a hot patina and wax. Like all bronze statues cast using the ‘lost wax’ process, our pieces are hollow and normally around 5mm in thickness.
Bronze is a metal alloy with a high copper content. It is resistant to corrosion, extremely hardy and very tough. If cared for properly it will stand the test of time in different weather conditions. Depending on its position and the degree to which it is exposed to the elements, the colour of your bronze statue may change slightly over time. This is perfectly normal for bronze as it oxidizes when exposed to air or other chemicals. You can however maintain its original appearance with minimal effort. We recommend cleaning and waxing statues once or twice a year.
