It’s a beautiful fusion of raw craftsmanship and potential, waiting to be perfected.

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.

Absolutely! Every one of our sculptures is 100% handcrafted. Our skilled artisans use both traditional and modern techniques, ensuring that each piece is unique. For example, it can take several days to craft a single sculpture, showcasing the dedication behind every creation.

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.

For outdoor displays, we recommend our Teak wood sculptures. Teak's high durability means that it can endure rain and direct sunlight without losing its beauty. It's perfect for gardens, patios, and other outdoor settings where art meets nature.
