The Farm at Green Village

The Farm at Green Village in New Jersey is widely known as one of the premier garden centers on the East Coast, offering an expansive selection of plants, trees, shrubs, and garden accessories across their breathtaking 32-acre property. Customers visit not only for their top-quality horticultural offerings but also for the immersive experience of strolling through a destination that feels more like a botanical park than a retail garden center. Throughout the grounds, you’ll find winding paths, themed gardens, and outdoor displays that bring design ideas to life.

Among these displays are a collection of Metropolitan Galleries’ bronze sculptures that add personality, artistry, and timeless charm to the Farm’s already beautiful setting. From whimsical and family-friendly pieces like the Children & Dog on Large Turtle (SRB25161), to the powerful Life-size Standing Grizzly Bear (SRB10096), and the majestic presence of the Sitting Gorilla Bronze Statue (SRB706678), each sculpture enhances the landscape and sparks curiosity and delight for visitors of all ages. These pieces don’t just decorate the grounds—they create lasting memories and storytelling moments for those who encounter them.

Every bronze sculpture in our collection is carefully crafted by hand using the traditional lost-wax casting process. This age-old method ensures remarkable detail, durability, and heirloom quality. Each sculpture is finished with a fire-applied patina, giving it depth of color and a protective finish designed to withstand the elements. Because of this meticulous process, our bronze pieces are not only works of art but also investments meant to last for generations, whether placed in a private garden, public space, or, as with The Farm at Green Village, within an expansive horticultural showcase.

Visitors are able to envision how these pieces could bring life and character to their own landscapes, while enjoying them as part of a larger, carefully curated setting.

At Metropolitan Galleries, we are deeply humbled to have been chosen to create a custom bronze sculpture honoring the lives lost and the heroic acts of first responders during the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Commissioned by the Town of Ocean Isle Beach and the Coastal Carolina First Responders Association, this monument stands as a lasting tribute to unity, resilience, and remembrance.

The design of the sculpture is a symbolic composition: the Twin Towers rise with solemn strength, mounted atop a bronze Pentagon, with the New York City skyline nestled between. Each element represents a piece of that fateful day, and together, they serve as a powerful reminder of how our nation came together in the face of unimaginable loss.

This sculpture was crafted not only to commemorate the nearly 3,000 lives lost but to honor the countless first responders—firefighters, police officers, EMS, and civilians—who risked and gave everything to save others. It reflects the enduring spirit of courage and compassion that continues to inspire our communities today.

Located in Ocean Isle Beach, this tribute will serve as a place of reflection, remembrance, and gratitude for generations to come. We are honored to have played a part in this meaningful project, and we extend our deepest respect to all who serve and protect.

As we reflect on September 11th, may this sculpture remind us of our shared humanity, and the strength we find in standing together.

SRB10132 Life-size Custom Bronze Female Jockey on Horse Sculpture exclusively designed and produced by Metropolitan Galleries

SRB10132 Life-size Custom Bronze Female Jockey Rider Sculpture by Metropolitan Galleries SCALE

At Metropolitan Galleries, we have the unique privilege of turning vision into timeless form—and our recent project honoring Barbara Chapin is a true testament to that mission. Commissioned by a private client, this life-size bronze jockey rider sculpture was designed to immortalize Barbara’s equestrian spirit in grand scale and lasting material.

Standing at over eight feet tall, this monumental bronze sculpture was meticulously crafted using the traditional lost wax bronze casting method, a technique celebrated for its ability to preserve intricate detail and artistic expression. From the tilt of the head to the precise positioning of the legs and riding boots, our skilled sculptors worked closely from reference photographs to ensure absolute accuracy and emotional authenticity.

The sculpture is finished with a rich dark brown monochromatic patina, giving the piece a grounded, elegant presence—one that commands attention while honoring the subtle power of its subject. Every fold of the uniform, every expression of movement, reflects our commitment to capturing the heart of the rider and the legacy she represents.

At Metropolitan Galleries, we’ve been designing and producing custom bronze statuary and fountains since the early 1990s. Each project is a story, and each sculpture is a chapter in our ongoing journey of craftsmanship and collaboration. Being a part of this tribute to Barbara Chapin was not only an honor—it was a deeply rewarding experience that we’ll carry with us.

If you’re looking to create a custom bronze sculpture to honor a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or simply bring your vision to life, we invite you to collaborate with our team. With every project, we pour our passion into creating something truly extraordinary.

At Metropolitan Galleries, some of our most meaningful projects are those that tell a story—of love, legacy, and remembrance. One such project is a custom bronze fountain sculpture created in memory of Henry Foy, a young boy from Jamestown, North Carolina, who passed away at the age of five due to a rare medical condition. This special piece was developed in collaboration with Henry’s mother, Laura Foy, and with support from the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Henry was a creative and gentle soul who found joy in working with his hands, especially through pottery. To honor this passion, we designed a touching depiction of Henry seated at a pottery wheel. Water softly bubbles up from the clay form at the center of the wheel, flowing through his hands and into the bowl beneath—a symbolic representation of the creativity and spirit that poured out of him during his brief but impactful life.

The bronze fountain is permanently installed at Haynes-Inman Education Center in Jamestown, North Carolina, where it now serves as a place of reflection, beauty, and inspiration for all who pass by. It’s more than just a sculpture—it’s a story cast in bronze, a quiet reminder of how even the smallest hands can shape something lasting.

At Metropolitan Galleries, we are humbled and honored to have been part of this tribute to Henry’s life and legacy. His memory lives on in art, in water, and in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

In the world of art, some creations transcend mere aesthetics to become timeless tributes to nature’s grandeur. Our exquisite bronze fountain sculptures of two massive marlin fish are such masterpieces. Crafted in the year 2000 for a prestigious corporation in Japan, these sculptures represent not only the beauty of marine life but also the pinnacle of artistic craftsmanship. Only one additional set of these stunning sculptures was produced, making them incredibly rare and highly coveted. We are fortunate to still have one of the two sets, which stands as a testament to the skill and dedication of our artisans.

The Mastery Behind the Sculpture

The creation of these marlin sculptures involved the ancient and revered lost wax bronze casting method. This process, known for its precision and durability, dates back thousands of years and is a cornerstone of fine art casting. Each sculpture begins as a meticulously detailed clay model, which is then encased in wax. This wax model is used to create a mold, which is subsequently filled with molten bronze. Once the bronze cools and solidifies, the mold is broken away to reveal the sculpture in its final form. This method ensures that every intricate detail is captured, but it also means that reproducing these sculptures would require starting from scratch with new clay models.

Our marlin sculptures are not only a marvel of casting technique but also of design. One marlin is depicted at an angle, embodying the dynamic motion of these majestic creatures, while its partner soars to a towering vertical height of 155 inches. This dramatic contrast in positioning creates a sense of movement and energy, making the sculptures a focal point in any setting.

The Majestic Marlin

Marlin fish are among the most revered and admired creatures in the ocean. Known for their incredible speed and agility, marlins are capable of reaching speeds up to 60 miles per hour, making them some of the fastest swimmers in the sea. Their elongated bodies, spear-like bills, and vibrant coloration add to their mystique and beauty.

These apex predators are found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. They are known for their migratory behavior, often traveling great distances across oceans. Marlins play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem, helping to maintain the balance of oceanic life.

One of the most thrilling sights in sport fishing is a marlin leaping from the water, showcasing its power and grace. This dramatic display is beautifully captured in our sculptures, where one marlin’s dynamic angle suggests the explosive energy of a fish breaching the surface, while the other’s vertical pose reflects the marlin’s natural elegance and dominance.

Starbright Sculpture in Clay before casting in bronze by Metropolitan Galleries Inc

Bronze Starbright Maine Coon Cat Sculpture exclusively designed and produced by Metropolitan Galleries Inc

In the hearts of pet lovers, our furry companions hold a special place, weaving themselves into the fabric of our lives with their unconditional love and companionship. When our beloved Starbright, a majestic Maine Coon, graced our lives for an incredible 21 years, it was a journey filled with cherished moments and treasured memories. To immortalize Starbright’s legacy, we embarked on a profound tribute through the artistry of Metropolitan Galleries, crafting a custom bronze sculpture that captures the very essence of our dear friend.

At Metropolitan Galleries, tradition meets innovation in the art of sculpting, particularly through the time-honored lost wax bronze casting method. This intricate process begins with a meticulous sculpting of Starbright’s likeness in clay, a labor of love that captures every nuance of her personality. From the gentle curve of her whiskers to the playful glint in her eyes, no detail is overlooked.

Once the clay sculpture is perfected, a mold is created around it, encasing it in a shell of plaster or rubber. This mold is then carefully cut open, revealing the clay sculpture nestled within. It is from this mold that the magic of lost wax casting truly begins.

Liquid wax is poured into the mold, filling the negative space left by the clay sculpture. As the wax cools and hardens, it takes on the exact form of Starbright, down to the finest detail. This wax replica, known as the “investment,” is then coated in layers of ceramic shell, creating a sturdy casing for the bronze to come.

The investment, now encased in ceramic shell, is placed in a kiln, where the wax is melted away, leaving behind an empty cavity in the shape of Starbright. Molten bronze, heated to a scorching temperature, is then poured into this cavity, filling every nook and cranny with liquid metal.

As the bronze cools and solidifies, the ceramic shell is chipped away, revealing the raw bronze sculpture within. This rough casting undergoes a meticulous process of cleaning and refinement, as our skilled artisans work to bring out the true beauty of Starbright’s likeness.

The final step in this journey is the application of the luxurious light brown patina, a delicate process that adds depth and warmth to the bronze, bringing Starbright to life in stunning detail.

Specializing in custom statuary and fountain design and production, Metropolitan Galleries stands as a beacon of artistic excellence and dedication to preserving memories. With a team of skilled artisans and a commitment to honoring the unique bond between humans and animals, Metropolitan Galleries offers a sanctuary for those seeking to immortalize their beloved pets in timeless bronze.

As pet lovers ourselves, we understand the profound impact our furry friends have on our lives. Through our experience with Metropolitan Galleries, we found solace in the process of honoring Starbright’s memory in a tangible and enduring form. Now, we extend this opportunity to others who seek to commemorate their cherished companions with the same reverence and craftsmanship.

In the heart of every pet owner lies a desire to immortalize the bond shared with their beloved companions. Through the artistry of Metropolitan Galleries and the intricate process of lost wax bronze casting, this desire transcends into reality, as cherished memories are transformed into timeless bronze sculptures. Let Metropolitan Galleries be the vessel through which your beloved pet’s legacy lives on, ensuring that their memory shines brightly for eternity.

Jerry Fallwell Sketch for Custom Sculpture Project

Custom Jerry Falwell Sculpture Clay Progress before mould creation by Metropolitan Galleries Inc

Completed Custom Jerry Falwell Sculpture exclusively designed and produced by Metropolitan Galleries Inc

In the annals of history, certain figures stand out—leaders whose influence reverberates through time, leaving an indelible mark on the world around them. Jerry Falwell, President of Liberty University, is undeniably one of those figures—a beacon of faith, education, and unwavering conviction. And now, thanks to Metropolitan Galleries, his legacy is immortalized in bronze, a testament to his enduring impact and the artistry of traditional craftsmanship.

At Metropolitan Galleries, our commitment to excellence spans decades, with each sculpture bearing the hallmark of quality and dedication. Since 1992, we’ve been entrusted with bringing visions to life, and the custom bronze sculpture of Jerry Falwell is no exception. With the expertise of our portraiture artist, every detail of Falwell’s likeness was meticulously rendered, capturing not just his physical appearance but also the essence of his character and spirit.

The journey began with a vision—a vision of Falwell, Bible in hand, standing tall in his conviction and faith. With the guidance of our portraiture artist, we worked closely with our client to ensure that every aspect of the sculpture reflected Falwell’s desired look and pose. From the tilt of his head to the curve of his smile, no detail was overlooked as we brought this vision to life.

Once the design was finalized, our skilled sculptors took over, transforming clay into a masterpiece of artistry. Each intricate detail, from Falwell’s tailored suit to the texture of his Bible, was carefully crafted with precision and care. It was this attention to detail that set our sculpture apart, capturing not just the likeness of Falwell but also the essence of his presence and personality.

But the journey didn’t end there. With the clay sculpture finalized, we turned to the time-honored tradition of lost wax bronze casting to bring our vision to fruition. Molds were created, and molten bronze was poured, filling every crevice and capturing every nuance of the original sculpture. The result was a bronze masterpiece—a tribute to Falwell’s legacy and the craftsmanship of Metropolitan Galleries.

As the sculpture of Jerry Falwell takes its place among our esteemed collection, it serves as a reminder of the power of art to immortalize the past and inspire the future.

Complete Kneeling Firefighter Custom Bronze Sculpture exclusively designed and produced by Metropolitan Galleries Inc

In the heart of Cobb County, Georgia, a masterpiece stands—a tribute to heroism immortalized in bronze. As the sun casts its golden glow upon the sculpture, it tells a story—a story of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of the firefighter. But behind its majestic presence lies a journey of craftsmanship and dedication, guided by the intricate art of lost wax bronze casting—a process as timeless as the legacy it seeks to honor.

At the helm of this creative endeavor is Metropolitan Galleries, a beacon of excellence in custom bronze statuary since 1992. Their expertise in the lost wax casting process is unrivaled, and it’s this meticulous technique that breathes life into their creations, including the newly unveiled Kneeling Firefighter Bronze Sculpture for the Cobb County Fire Department.

The journey begins with a vision—a vision of a firefighter in eternal reverence, captured in clay. Talented artisans sculpt every contour, every detail, ensuring that the essence of heroism is preserved in every stroke. This clay sculpture serves as the blueprint, the embodiment of perfection before the transformation begins.

With the clay sculpture finalized to perfection, the next step is the creation of molds—a delicate process that requires precision and expertise. These molds, crafted with care, will serve as the vessel through which the molten bronze will flow, shaping the sculpture into its final form.

Now, the stage is set for the art of lost wax casting to unfold. Molten bronze, heated to extreme temperatures, is poured into the molds, filling every crevice and capturing every nuance of the original clay sculpture. As the bronze cools and solidifies, it takes on a life of its own, embodying the strength and resilience of the firefighter it represents.

But the journey doesn’t end there. Once the bronze has cooled, the molds are carefully removed, unveiling the raw beauty of the sculpture beneath. What emerges is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans at Metropolitan Galleries—a bronze masterpiece that pays homage to the heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Finally, the sculpture undergoes a meticulous finishing process, where every surface is polished to perfection, every detail brought to life with exquisite precision. The result is a work of art that transcends time—a timeless tribute to the courage and sacrifice of firefighters everywhere.

Care & Cleaning Instructions for Outdoor Bronze Statues and Fountains

Removing Stubborn Oxidation with WD40:

– Apply WD40 to the oxidized areas of the bronze.

– Gently rub the surface with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove stubborn oxidation.

Applying Clear Wax for Protection:

– Evenly coat the bronze surface with clear wax, ensuring complete coverage.

– Use a soft cloth to buff the wax, creating a protective layer against environmental elements.

Deep Penetration with a Blowtorch:

– Safely use a blowtorch to heat the clear wax on the bronze.

– Allow the molten wax to penetrate deep into the crevices, forming a lasting barrier against oxidation.

Tailored Care for Coastal Areas:

– In coastal regions with higher salt levels, increase the frequency of maintenance.

– Pay extra attention to cleaning and waxing to counteract the corrosive effects of salt in the air.

Remember to follow safety guidelines when using a blowtorch and ensure proper ventilation. Regularly inspect and care for your bronze pieces to maintain their timeless beauty.

As winter approaches, it’s essential to take proactive measures to protect your beautiful bronze outdoor fountain from the potential hazards of freezing temperatures. Much like the water pipes in your home, bronze fountains are susceptible to damage if water within them freezes. Follow these steps to ensure your fountain remains in pristine condition during the winter months:

Draining the Fountain:

Begin by turning off the water supply to the fountain. Allow the fountain to drain completely. Ensure that all water is emptied from the bowls, pipes, and any other components.

Disconnecting the Water Source:

Disconnect the water source to prevent any residual water from entering the fountain during freezing temperatures. This step is crucial in preventing the expansion of freezing water that could potentially damage the fountain’s structure.

Heavy Duty Tarp Coverage:

Cover the entire fountain with a heavy-duty tarp, ensuring that it extends over all exposed surfaces. Use additional bungee cords or straps to secure the tarp tightly around the fountain, creating a protective barrier against winter elements.

Protection from Debris:

The tarp not only shields the fountain from freezing temperatures but also serves as a barrier against debris. By covering the fountain, you prevent leaves, twigs, and other materials from accumulating in the bowls, facilitating a smoother cleanup in the spring.

Periodic Checks:

Throughout the winter season, periodically check the condition of the tarp and bungee cords to ensure they remain securely in place. If any adjustments are needed, make them promptly to maintain optimal protection.

By following these simple steps, you’ll safeguard your bronze outdoor fountain against the potentially damaging effects of freezing temperatures. Come spring, your fountain will be ready to grace your outdoor space once again with its beauty and charm.

Metropolitan Galleries High Point Enterprise Article HPE - A monumental business grows in High Point

Maxwell Taro, Director of operations at Metropolitan Galleries Inc. stands among the many bronze Fountains and Sculptures. The company sells. Metropolitan Galleries is located at 1006 West Green Dr. and was founded in 1993.

This article was written and published by the High Point Enterprise.

by: Guy Lucas – Enterprise Director

HIGH POINT

The most-popular bronze statues that Metropolitan Galleries sells are ones you might never find in its warehouse on W. Green Drive unless your timing is right. On a recent tour of the ware house, the timing was not right, as Director of Operations Max Taro explained. “As you can see, there are no deer back there right now,” he said. “When they come in, they fly out the door.” But the warehouse otherwise contains a bronze menagerie – lions, tigers, bears, herons, horses, squirrels, dragons, children, angels, even a 10-foot cherub, to name a few. On the day of the tour, an elk standing 8 or 10 feet high without its horns attached stood wrapped and crated in the back of the warehouse to be shipped West, there to be mounted atop a giant rock on an estate.

Owner Cindy Bennett started the business with her first husband, the late Steven Bennett, while they were living in Atlanta. “I’ve always loved art, and I loved statuary,” she said. Their only office was their home. They rented warehouse space and drove a truck around the country to make deliveries, and they rented space at High Point Market in the Hamilton Market’s “temporaries” area.

In 1997 the Bennett’s moved to Greensboro and rented warehouse space on Ennis Street, right behind the building now housing Metropolitan. Soon after, the business had grown enough that they started hiring drivers and leasing trucks. If there has been a surprise in the 30 years since the business began, Bennett said, it’s the secret to her success: “People love statuary as much as I do!” Metropolitan occupies what would be an unassuming, even plain brick building if not for the dozen or so large statues surrounding its parking lot, which include a man on a chariot pulled by dolphins, a boy riding an ostrich, and a mermaid cradling a large fish.

Though Metropolitan is not a retail business open to the public, Taro and assistant Kat McAdoo said the statues out front regularly draw the curious, often families with young children, who buzz at the locked entry door and ask for a peek. Inside the entry is a smallish business office that looks just as unassuming as the brick outer walls. Everything changes at the door to the warehouse, McAdoo said. “What I tell people is that’s the door way to Narnia,” she said. “It’s very overwhelming.”

In fact Metropolitan boasts that it has the largest selection of bronze statues, fountains and accessories to be found, at least as far as anyone connected with the business knows. It typically sells more than 600 a year to clients across the country and as far away as South Korea.

Even after working for Metropolitan for four years, McAdoo finds that when she walks through the ware house, she often notices statues or fountains she had never seen before. And the selection keeps growing because every now and then some one wants a custom-made piece, and Metropolitan can make it – and duplicate it for anyone else. For instance, someone last year wanted a figure of Pan, the horned, goat-legged Greek god of the wild, that was different than had been found elsewhere. Now in the warehouse, there Pan sits, literally, his furry rear end perched on a stump, arms resting on his legs, holding his pan flute in’one hand while pensively gazing out upon the rest of the menagerie.

One of the largest custom piece that has been done is an enormous griffin that can be found at Grandover Resort atop a large stone pedestal in the roadway median at the entrance of Grandover Parkway on Groometown Road.

Taro contributed the idea for one recently added small piece: a bear riding a tricycle with a basket on the front. “I’d seen similar concepts, but they were small and concrete,” he said. “I thought, you know, I bet if we had that in bronze it would do very well!” Adding a new piece to the menagerie, or doing a custom piece, is no easy thing. First, an artist has to translate the concept into an image on paper. Then a clay sculpture is made. There are a lot of steps – to be precise – before a finished piece is ready. McAdoo said that is the thing about the business that still surprises her the most. “You don’t realize how much goes into the production of these pieces.” she said.

Discover the enchantment of nature and art intertwined with our captivating Metropolitan Galleries bronze sculpture! Picture two delightful frogs, gracefully perched upon exquisite mushrooms, creating a whimsical scene that will steal your heart.

The Timeless Wisdom of the Three Wise Monkeys: A Bronze Masterpiece by Metropolitan Galleries

In the realm of art, some creations possess an enduring quality that transcends time and culture. One such masterpiece is the bronze statue of the Three Wise Monkeys, expertly crafted by Metropolitan Galleries. This extraordinary sculpture captures the essence of the iconic see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil expressions, rendering a profound and timeless message. Created using the traditional lost wax bronze casting method, this stunning artwork measures 28″ inches wide, 11″ inches deep, and stands 14″ inches tall. Let us delve into the symbolism and craftsmanship of this remarkable piece.

Symbolism and Meaning:

The Three Wise Monkeys, often associated with Eastern philosophy and folklore, have become a universally recognized symbol. Each monkey embodies a particular maxim: “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” This representation serves as a reminder of the importance of moral conduct and virtuous behavior in our lives.

The first monkey covers its eyes, urging us to avoid witnessing or engaging in immoral or unethical actions. The second monkey places its hands over its ears, urging us to avoid listening to harmful or malicious gossip. Finally, the third monkey covers its mouth, encouraging us to abstain from speaking ill or spreading negativity. Together, these three gestures encourage individuals to cultivate wisdom, integrity, and mindfulness in their thoughts, actions, and speech.

Craftsmanship and Technique:

Metropolitan Galleries, known for their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, have brought the Three Wise Monkeys to life using the traditional method of lost wax bronze casting. This age-old technique dates back thousands of years and has been perfected by generations of skilled artisans.

The lost wax casting process begins with a meticulous sculpting of the original piece in wax. The wax sculpture is then coated with layers of heat-resistant material, forming a mold. Once the mold is ready, it undergoes a heating process to remove the wax, leaving behind an empty space within the mold. Molten bronze is poured into this void, filling every nook and cranny of the mold, capturing even the finest details of the sculpture. After the bronze has solidified, the mold is broken away, revealing the raw bronze artwork. The final step involves meticulous hand-finishing, patination, and polishing, resulting in the stunning bronze sculpture we see today.

The Finely Executed Details:

Metropolitan Galleries’ dedication to excellence is evident in every aspect of this bronze masterpiece. The intricate details of the Three Wise Monkeys sculpture are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen involved. From the texture of the monkeys’ fur to the expressive facial features, each element showcases the artist’s attention to realism and aesthetics.

The monkeys, crouching and attached to a single base, appear animated and full of life. The sculpture’s size, measuring 28″ inches wide, 11″ inches deep, and 14″ inches tall, ensures that it commands attention and becomes a focal point wherever it is displayed.

A Timeless Symbol for the Modern World:

While the origins of the Three Wise Monkeys date back centuries, their teachings remain profoundly relevant in the modern world. In an age dominated by noise, distraction, and negativity, this bronze sculpture serves as a gentle reminder to pause, reflect, and choose our actions and words wisely. It encapsulates the timeless pursuit of virtue and the path towards a more harmonious and compassionate society.

Whether displayed in a home, office, or public space, the Three Wise Monkeys sculpture by Metropolitan Galleries is certain to captivate viewers and spark contemplation. Its presence invokes a sense of tranquility, inviting individuals to embrace introspection and embody the virtues it represents.
