A semi-furnished wooden sculpture is an artistic piece where the intricate carving and shaping are fully complete, yet the final steps of polishing and painting are still pending. At this stage, the sculpture has reached a near-finished state, leaving room for customization based on the artist’s and the customer’s preferences. It’s a beautiful fusion of raw craftsmanship and potential, waiting to be perfected.

The finishing touches can dramatically enhance the visual appeal of a sculpture. We provide a variety of options designed to elevate your experience:
A. Multi-color (Painting)

2. Brown Based
3.Black Based
4.Multi color only for Krishna
5.Multicolor Brown based only for Yaali
B. Varnished (Natural Look)
We offer two types of varnish:
Matt Varnish: With a soft, non-glossy finish, this keeps a natural appearance, effectively enhancing rustic designs. It is particularly suited for sculptures that depict nature.
Glossy Varnish: This smooth, shiny finish emphasizes the beauty of the wood grain. For example, a Glossy Varnished sculpture can make the rich tones of Mahogany stand out impressively.
C. Wax Polishing
With our hand-rubbed wax options, you can further enhance your sculpture's natural beauty. Choices include:
Wax Light Brown: Perfect for highlighting the wood's natural grain with a gentle warmth.
Wax Dark Brown: This option adds depth, giving the sculpture an antique look.
Wax Black: Ideal for a bold appearance while ensuring the design's integrity remains intact.
D. Varnished Gold Finishing
Gold Finish: A gold finish involves applying a thin layer of gold over a base material.This creates a luxurious, shiny surface that resembles solid gold.
Varnish Application: To protect the gold and enhance its luster, a varnish layer is applied over the gold surface. This clear coating shields the finish from scratches, tarnishing, and oxidation, preserving the appearance for longer.
Varnished Polishing:
Once the varnish is dry, the piece is polished to achieve a smooth, mirror-like sheen. Polishing enhances the gold’s reflective quality and removes any imperfections, ensuring a flawless, glossy finish.
Key Benefits:
Durability: The varnish provides a protective layer that maintains the gold finish.
High Gloss: Polishing ensures a sleek, mirror-like shine.
Aesthetic Appeal: The combination of gold and varnish creates a luxurious, sophisticated appearance.
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your sculpture, follow these essential care tips:
Keep Away from Moisture: Moisture can lead to significant damage, such as warping or mold growth. Keep sculptures in dry, stable environments.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Sun exposure can fade colors and warp wood. Ideally, display your piece in a shaded area, particularly if it’s in a sunny room.
Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust your sculpture, preventing debris buildup that can scratch the surface.
Use Natural Wax or Wood Polish: Depending on the finish, applying natural wax or polish can further protect the wood and enhance its appearance. It is recommended to do this every six months.
