Escar UK Bronze creates commissioned bronze sculptures and custom bronze statues for public organisations, businesses, families and private clients throughout the UK Each bespoke sculpture is hollow-cast in bronze and developed around an individual brief
Every commission begins with an individual idea It may commemorate a person, celebrate an achievement, recreate a much-loved animal or provide a distinctive sculpture for a public or private setting
We work closely with each client from the initial discussion through design, modelling, casting and patination Where required, we can also assist with delivery and final installation
Escar UK Bronze has extensive experience with public and private bronze commissions
Our completed projects include portrait statues, memorial sculptures, public monuments and individual works created for private clients Each commission combines close consultation, artistic skill and traditional bronze-casting craftsmanship
Clients remain involved throughout the project, from the initial concept to approval of the finished design

The first step is to contact Escar UK Bronze and explain what you would like the finished sculpture to represent
We will discuss the intended subject, size, setting and purpose of the commission Photographs, drawings, measurements and other reference material can help establish the design and character of the proposed sculpture
We also consider its intended location A sculpture created for a garden, memorial site or public space may require different proportions, foundations and fixings from one displayed indoors Planning bronze statue installation alongside the design helps us consider the proposed base, site access, transport and final positioning We can discuss delivery and installation assistance as part of your commission and agree the requirements before the finished sculpture is moved into place
Once the initial requirements have been agreed, the design and modelling process can begin
Our bespoke bronze commissions range from public monuments to personal memorials and animal sculptures Public bronze sculpture commissions are planned around their intended site and purpose, while bronze memorial commissions can commemorate an individual, family or community
Previous projects have included bronze portrait sculptures, commemorative figures, public monuments and bronze memorial statues representing notable people and preserving personal memories We have also produced bespoke animal sculptures, family groups and individual works for homes, gardens and businesses
A commissioned sculpture can mark an anniversary, preserve an important memory or recognise someone’s contribution to a community or organisation
Each project is developed around the client’s purpose rather than adapted from a standard design
A commissioned bronze sculpture develops through several carefully managed stages
The process normally begins with research, reference material and preliminary design work The sculptor then creates the original model, capturing the required pose, proportions, expression and individual details
The client can review the developing sculpture before the design receives final approval
Skilled foundry craftsmen then reproduce the approved model in bronze using the traditional Lost Wax Bronze Casting process Larger sculptures may be cast in several sections before being welded, chased and finished
Finally, the sculpture receives its chosen patina This hand-applied finish gives the bronze its colour, depth and individual character
The cost of commissioning a bronze statue depends on the size, complexity and individual requirements of the project
Design and modelling work, mould production, bronze casting, finishing and patination all contribute to the final quotation Additional considerations may include the base, structural fixings, transportation and installation
Because every commission is different, we provide an individual quotation after discussing the proposed sculpture and its intended location
Contacting us with an approximate size, subject and available reference material will help us assess the project accurately
The time required depends on the scale and complexity of the sculpture
Research, design approval, modelling, mould-making and bronze casting must all be completed carefully Larger public statues and detailed portrait commissions naturally require more time than smaller private works
Installation requirements and a fixed unveiling date may also affect the project schedule
We will discuss the likely timescale after reviewing the initial brief Clients working towards an anniversary, opening ceremony or public event should contact us as early as possible
Tell Escar UK Bronze the subject, approximate size, intended location and purpose of your sculpture Photographs, drawings, measurements and other reference material help us discuss the design Mention any anniversary or unveiling date at the outset
