There are just so many ways you can present a custom bronze statue to the community that carves out the character of the person you want to salute. Or maybe, you might want to custom make a bronze statue that highlights animals which act as mascots for a school, university campus or organization. One example would be the howling wolf mascot which adds character to the garden of a busy city official or government office that observes the wolf as a mascot.

When buying custom bronze statues, you want to go to the right store that delivers character and quality to your project. You need to be sure that the bronze statue store delivers the promise of making a custom statue that symbolizes the charm and care you have exuded into your project.

One thing you should know is that custom bronze statues cost money. Such projects, depending on their intricate detail and complexity, can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars for a simple statue, to twenty thousand dollars moving close to fifty thousand for mid-sized projects and going upwards in cost. Bronze custom order projects can also cost millions of dollars depending on the size of project and especially if it is commissioned and contracted by renowned sculptors and artists around the world. While each custom project should be treated uniquely, there are general guidelines which determine the cost of your custom bronze statue project and the following lists some you can expect a good bronze statue retailer to adhere to when determining the cost of your custom project.

1. Size and Level of Detail of Project

Some projects may be simple and cost only a few thousand dollars. Maybe it could involve designing a bust of a famous politician or doctor or it could pay tribute to a wonderful person in your community where the foundry only needs to develop the cast of a person sitting on a bench, the latter of which may be already available for use. In such instances, these projects may cost just under twenty thousand or slightly more depending on the complexity of the subject and what they would like to see projected on them. However, as the size of the project grows and includes a certain level of complexity, so does the cost of the raw materials used to create the bronze sculptures and the labor needed to create them. There are also certain intricacies needed in studying the manner large sculptures and statues can hold in the landscaped area and hence, all that determines and adds into the project cost as the project manager works to determine the best solution in presenting sculptures that will surmount durability while retaining permanence for the area it is slotted for. While you plan the costs of the project, some may run into tens and thousands as the sculptures grow in size and are commissioned with the participation of sculptors and renowned artists who add their symbolic value and carefully crafted detail to the project making it a unique statement for the public to admire and recognize. Such projects may run into the millions! Hence, you must be prepared to endure such costs and to enjoy the beauty of custom work projects especially when you are carving out a unique niche for the proposed site that would make it a hallmark of a shopping complex or stadium as an example.

2. Casting Your Bronze the Traditional Way

Many bronze statue stores may do their best to secure your custom orders and cut corners. Because they want to accommodate your budget and get your order, they will do everything necessary to make it seem as if the project can be done in as little as possible. The fact is the traditional lost wax process of casting bronze statues ensures the creation of some of the finest bronze statues you can expect but it involves the costs and labor of replicating the subject matter and when cast, effort is taken to polish and patina the sculpture or statue to retain a shine that can only happen with high quality bronze statues usually composed of at least 88% copper. As such, a good foundry will not compromise the value of the sculpture and a good bronze statue retailer which values the client’s custom needs will not cut corners and create a substandard bronze sculpture just to keep costs low and profits high. At TimelessBronze.com, you can rest assured that we will work with you to develop your custom bronze statues with a foundry that knows quality and competence in creating quality bronze statues. We do not cut corners and will strive to bring you a statue that comes close to what you are expecting. Remember that you are casting a statue from high quality metal and hence, you want to get a bronze sculpture that will last a lifetime! We help make that happen for you and we develop the cast to be as close as possible to what you want to see as the final solution for your project. We will let you see this cast and get your approval before we send it into production so you know your custom bronze statue is being developed the traditional way known as the Lost Wax Process and will “live” on for many years to come.
