In the realm of home décor and garden accents, few pieces evoke the rustic charm and timeless elegance of the deer motif. Imagine strolling through a lush garden, where bronze sculptures seamlessly blend with nature, adding a touch of sophistication and allure. At [Your Company Name], we are proud to introduce our latest creation: the Medium-Sized Bronze Deer Antler Planter Urns.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and reverence for tradition, our deer antler planter urns are born from the age-old lost wax bronze casting method.

Modeled after our esteemed Giant Deer Planter Urns (SRB10105), these medium-sized counterparts capture the majesty of the deer in a more modest scale, standing at an impressive height of 40 inches. The silhouette of the deer, with its graceful antlers reaching towards the sky, exudes a sense of nobility and tranquility, making it a captivating focal point in any setting.

What sets our Medium-Sized Bronze Deer Antler Planter Urns apart is the addition of a stunning scenery relief nestled between each deer head and its antlers. This intricate detail transports you to a serene woodland landscape, where verdant trees sway gently in the breeze and babbling brooks meander through the forest floor. It’s a testament to the craftsmanship of our artisans, who infuse every piece with their passion and dedication to their craft.

These planter urns aren’t just exquisite works of art—they’re also functional pieces that invite creativity and versatility. Whether adorning a grand entranceway, gracing a manicured garden, or accentuating a cozy patio, they serve as striking planters for vibrant blooms, verdant foliage, or cascading vines. Imagine the juxtaposition of delicate flowers against the rugged beauty of bronze, creating a harmonious tableau that captivates the senses.

Moreover, our Medium-Sized Bronze Deer Antler Planter Urns offer more than just visual appeal—they evoke a sense of connection to the natural world, reminding us of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us. In a fast-paced world dominated by technology and concrete jungles, these pieces serve as anchors, grounding us in the splendor of the outdoors and inspiring moments of contemplation and introspection.

With our Medium-Sized Bronze Deer Antler Planter Urns, we invite you to bring a touch of wilderness into your home, forging a deeper connection to nature and infusing your surroundings with beauty, grace, and serenity.

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. With every glance, viewers are invited to reflect on Falwell’s contributions to faith, education, and society as a whole—a legacy that continues to shape our world long after his passing.

At Metropolitan Galleries, we take pride in our role as the nation’s trusted source for quality bronze sculpture. From custom commissions to timeless classics, each piece bears the mark of our dedication to excellence and our commitment to preserving history for generations to come. And with the sculpture of Jerry Falwell, we honor not just a man but a legacy—a legacy that will endure for years to come.

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.

As the Kneeling Firefighter Bronze Sculpture finds its place in Cobb County, it serves as a beacon of hope and remembrance—a reminder of the selflessness and bravery that define the firefighting community. And behind its powerful presence lies the artistry of lost wax bronze casting—a process as enduring as the legacy it seeks to honor.

In the realm of artistic endeavors, Metropolitan Galleries consistently takes pride in nurturing long-standing relationships with our esteemed clients. Recently, we were approached by one such client, who entrusted us with a remarkable project: the creation of an exquisite Arabian Oryx sculpture for the newly constructed Ritz Carlton in Jordan. Situated at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe within the captivating Levant region, Jordan exudes a rich tapestry of history and natural beauty. Bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south and east, Iraq to the northeast, Syria to the north, and the Palestinian West Bank, Israel, and the Dead Sea to the west, this enchanting land serves as an ideal backdrop for our artistic endeavor.

As we embarked on this endeavor, our skilled sculptor, renowned for their prowess in capturing the essence of animals, took center stage. Armed with their expertise and passion, they transformed mere sticks and clay into a life-size masterpiece—an awe-inspiring representation of the Arabian Oryx. This elegant creature, with its regal stature and captivating presence, seamlessly took shape under the sculptor’s skilled hands.

The Arabian Oryx, also known as the white oryx, graces the sands with its medium-sized antelope form. Its most distinctive feature, a prominent shoulder bump, adds to its allure and imparts an aura of strength. Magnificently proportioned, the oryx’s long, straight horns command attention, drawing the eye to their intricate details. As if caressed by the desert winds, its tufted tail completes the portrait of grace and beauty.

This masterpiece stands as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision that define Metropolitan Galleries. Our sculptor’s dedication to capturing the essence of these majestic creatures is evident in every sculpted contour and finely rendered detail. The Arabian Oryx sculptures that now grace the newly constructed Ritz Carlton in Jordan serve as a harmonious blend of artistry and the natural world.

Through the synergy of our client’s vision, the captivating allure of Jordan’s enchanting landscape, and the artistic talent of our sculptor, this collaboration has yielded a masterpiece that transcends mere aesthetics. It is a testament to the power of art to capture the spirit of nature and evoke a sense of wonder within us all.

As you witness these life-size oryx sculptures adorning the Ritz Carlton, take a moment to immerse yourself in the magnificence of the Arabian Oryx. Allow the enchanting beauty and regal presence of these sculptures to transport you to the arid deserts of Jordan, where the spirits of art and nature converge.

Within the realm of sculpture, few subjects possess the enigmatic allure and captivating presence quite like the gargoyle. At Metropolitan Galleries, we had the privilege of bringing to life a mesmerizing bronze gargoyle sculpture, a testament to the power of artistic expression. This extraordinary sculpture, born from the visionary concept of our associate Maxwell Taro, combines intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship to create a work of art that captures the imagination.

Concept to Reality: The journey of the bronze gargoyle sculpture began with the concept envisioned by Maxwell Taro. Inspired by the mystique and symbolism surrounding gargoyles, Maxwell sketched out a design that encapsulated the creature’s essence. With every stroke of the pencil, the gargoyle’s distinctive features and compelling form took shape.

Crafting the Enigma: Once the concept was established, our long-time animal sculptor embarked on the meticulous process of carving the gargoyle sculpture. With painstaking attention to detail, every aspect of the sculpture was refined and perfected, ensuring that the character and essence of the gargoyle were captured with unrivaled precision. From the menacing facial expression to the intricate textures of the wings and body, each element was carefully crafted to evoke a sense of awe and curiosity.

Lost Wax Bronze Casting: To transform the gargoyle sculpture into its final form, we employed the traditional method of lost wax bronze casting. This time-honored technique involves creating a mold from the original sculpture, allowing for the precise reproduction of each intricate detail. The mold was then used to cast the sculpture in bronze, preserving the unique characteristics and capturing the spirit of the gargoyle in everlasting form.

Unleashing the Enigma: The bronze gargoyle sculpture, measuring an impressive 22 inches in height and 24 inches wide, now stands as a commanding presence, demanding attention and intrigue. With its imposing stance and meticulously crafted features, the gargoyle captures the imagination, transporting viewers to a realm where mystery and myth converge.

A Timeless Symbol: Throughout history, gargoyles have been revered as guardians and protectors, warding off evil spirits and bringing a sense of security. As a bronze sculpture, the gargoyle serves as a timeless symbol of strength, watchfulness, and the ever-present struggle between darkness and light. It stands as a testament to the power of art to provoke thought, ignite imagination, and evoke powerful emotions.

Conclusion: The bronze gargoyle sculpture created by [Your Company Name] is a testament to the transformative nature of art. From Maxwell Taro’s visionary concept to the skilled craftsmanship of our animal sculptor, every step of the creative process was driven by a passion for bringing the enigmatic beauty of the gargoyle to life. As this captivating sculpture takes its rightful place, it invites viewers to explore the depths of their imagination and embrace the mysteries that lie within.

Welcome to Metropolitan Galleries, where every year we embark on a journey of creativity and innovation, designing and developing exquisite bronze sculptures that capture our passions and interests. In April 2022, an exciting opportunity presented itself when a new client, the proud owner of a sprawling botanical garden, approached us with a unique request for a classic mythological pan sculpture. While our extensive collection already included several stunning “Pan” sculptures, none quite matched the vision our client had in mind.

This is where Katherine McAdoo, our talented Assistant Director of Operations and a true connoisseur of Greek Mythology, eagerly stepped in. With her wealth of knowledge and passion for the subject, Katherine saw this as the perfect chance to delve deeper into the world of Pan and bring our client’s vision to life.

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Pan held a prominent place as the god of the wild, shepherds, and flocks. He was also associated with rustic music and impromptus, often acting as a companion to the nymphs. Depicted with the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, much like a faun or satyr, Pan embodied the untamed essence of nature. Hailing from the rustic realm of Arcadia, he further symbolized the god of fields, groves, and wooded glens. Additionally, Pan’s association with sex connected him to concepts of fertility and the rejuvenation of springtime.

With this profound understanding of Pan’s mythological significance, Katherine embarked on a journey of research and exploration. Consulting ancient texts, studying classical depictions, and immersing herself in the nuances of Greek art, she meticulously crafted a detailed brief that captured the essence of our client’s desired sculpture. Drawing inspiration from Pan’s divine attributes and the enchanting allure of nature, Katherine set the stage for our artists to create a truly exceptional piece.

Through their skilled craftsmanship and unwavering dedication, our team of talented sculptors breathed life into the vision. Every intricate detail, from Pan’s captivating countenance to the harmonious blend of human and goat-like features, was meticulously shaped and refined. The sculpture seamlessly encapsulated the essence of Pan’s mythology, radiating a sense of wild beauty and fertility that our client sought to showcase within their botanical oasis.

At Metropolitan Galleries, we take immense pride in our commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and delivering masterpieces that resonate with our clients’ deepest passions. This collaboration with our client and the expertise of Katherine McAdoo not only resulted in a magnificent bronze sculpture but also exemplified the power of art to breathe life into ancient tales and forge connections between past and present.

Lenny Peters Foundation Sculpture by Metropolitan Galleries Inc

Having a vision is one thing, but to bring that vision into reality and help people around the globe takes great diligence and patience. For Lenny Peters Foundation, this custom bronze sculpture equipped with a stark white epoxy patina of a hand holding the earth is the finishing garnish to decades of enthusiasm and hard work.

Metropolitan Galleries was approached by Freeman Kennett Architects about the possibility of developing such a sculpture to incorporate into the building’s modern design. Of course, we jumped at the opportunity to be a part of such a fun project. One of the things that makes us unique is that we relate to our client’s passion and vision and grow just as attached to the project as they are.

The Architects submitted detailed renderings of the sculpture and we got to work. Metropolitan Galleries has spent the last 30 years working very closely with some of the best sculpture foundries in the industry. Fairly quickly, the project was off the ground and our artisans were carving the general shape of the sculpture from a clay-wax compound. Sculpture is one of the most painstaking executions of art to accomplish. It can take several weeks just to get the scale and shape accurate before the sculpting details can take place, and this is still part of the very first step to creating a bronze sculpture. Once the details of the clay sculpture are finalized and ready to proceed to the next step, rubber moulds of the clay sculpture are made, capturing every fine detail for casting. Now the casting is where the excitement comes in, liquid molten bronze is poured carefully into the rubber moulds and allowed to cure. After all of this, we are still far from the finished sculpture. Keep in mind this article gives a very general explanation on the Lost Wax Bronze Casting process. The process itself takes over two dozen steps to execute and can take eight to twelve weeks to complete.

Upon the final steps of casting and cleaning up the sections for assembly, the bronze sculpture starts to come to life as the sections are artfully and seamlessly brought together. Most bronze sculptures are finished with a chemical or fire-applied patina. Lenny Peters Foundation colors are white and blue, and the organization desired a stark white sculpture with silver lettering. This of course was easily done with immaculate perfection.

This project took nearly a year to complete from the starting point to installation. All in all, we are grateful to have been a part of such an exciting project for our neighbors in High Point, North Carolina.

Metropolitan Galleries, renowned for their unparalleled ability to bring artistic visions to life, was approached by a creative development team working on an exciting Astronaut camp in Florida. The team sought to create an immersive experience for camp attendees, and a key component of their vision was a captivating walking boy bronze sculpture to be prominently displayed within the facility’s Astronaut exhibit. Metropolitan Galleries enthusiastically embarked on the mission to bring this vision to fruition, infusing the sculpture with a sense of wonder and discovery.

Translating Vision into Reality: The process began with the collaboration between the development team and Metropolitan Galleries’ talented portraiture artist. With careful attention to detail, the artist meticulously drew out the desired concept for the walking boy sculpture, capturing his posture, facial features, and even the texture of his hair. These drawings served as the blueprint, breathing life into the vision and providing a tangible framework for the sculpture’s creation.

From Concept to Clay: With the drawings finalized, the production of the walking boy sculpture commenced by shaping a clay mold that would serve as the foundation for the bronze casting process. The clay mold allowed for the exploration and refinement of the sculpture’s form and provided an opportunity for adjustments to be made before transitioning to the final stages of production. Throughout this phase, Metropolitan Galleries’ artisans meticulously sculpted and refined every detail, capturing the essence and spirit of the walking boy.

The Timeless Art of Lost Wax Bronze Casting: The walking boy bronze sculpture truly came to life through the ancient and revered method of lost wax bronze casting. This intricate and time-honored process involved creating a detailed wax replica of the sculpture, encasing it in a mold, and then removing the wax through a careful heating process. Once the wax was removed, molten bronze was poured into the cavity, taking on the intricate details and characteristics of the original sculpture. The casting process ensured the preservation of every nuance, providing a permanent embodiment of the walking boy’s posture and expression.

Bringing the Sculpture to Life: After the completion of the casting process, the walking boy sculpture entered its final phase of refinement. The artisans at Metropolitan Galleries meticulously applied the final finish, also known as the patina, to the sculpture. Using an open flame, the patina was fired into the bronze, enhancing the sculpture’s surface with a medium-brown hue. This finishing touch not only added depth and character but also served to protect and preserve the sculpture, ensuring its longevity and beauty for generations to come.

Inspiring Exploration and Discovery: The walking boy bronze sculpture, adorned with its captivating medium-brown patina, now stands as a symbol of exploration and discovery within the Astronaut camp. With every step, the sculpture invites camp attendees to imagine the possibilities and embark on their own journey of wonder. Its presence within the Astronaut exhibit fosters a sense of inspiration and ignites a curiosity about the vast realms of space and the wonders that await.

Metropolitan Galleries’ collaboration with the creative development team resulted in the creation of an awe-inspiring walking boy bronze sculpture for the Astronaut camp in Florida. From the initial concept drawings to the meticulous clay mold and the ancient process of lost wax bronze casting, every step was taken to ensure that the sculpture embodies the spirit of exploration and the pursuit of knowledge. As the walking boy sculpture graces the camp, it serves as a reminder to all who encounter it of the infinite possibilities that lie within the realm of discovery.

Witness the transformative power of art and imagination at the Astronaut camp, where the walking boy bronze sculpture inspires young explorers to reach for the stars and embark on their own cosmic adventures.

Las Vegas, the glittering oasis of excitement and entertainment, holds a special place in our hearts as one of our favorite destinations to escape to. The vibrant energy, dazzling lights, and the allure of casinos and lounges make it an irresistible haven for those seeking a thrilling experience. It is amidst this captivating atmosphere that Metropolitan Galleries found itself embarking on an extraordinary collaboration.

The renowned Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (MBDS), celebrated for their eclectic interior design style, approached us with a visionary project. Their latest endeavor, the Mayfair Supper Club nestled within the prestigious Bellagio Resort, sought to create an enchanting ambiance that would captivate the senses and leave a lasting impression on guests. As an integral part of this endeavor, MBDS envisioned incorporating our classic Bronze Twin Merboy Sculpture Torchiere Floor Lamps, adding a touch of timeless elegance and allure to the Mayfair Supper Club.

However, the journey to bring this vision to life was not without its challenges. The original style of the lamps, developed by our late founder Steven Bennett in the early 2000s, presented a unique hurdle. The passage of time had taken its toll on the molds, rendering them too deteriorated to be used for casting new sculptures. Undeterred by this obstacle, we embraced the opportunity to embark on a reimagining of the Cast Bronze Twin Merboy Torchieres for MBDS and their remarkable Mayfair Supper Club design project.

This endeavor was a labor of love that spanned approximately ten weeks. Our dedicated team meticulously carved new molds, sculpting them in clay and wax,

painstakingly refining every curve and contour to capture the essence of the original design. The casting process, assembly, and the application of the perfect patina followed, each step infused with passion and commitment to excellence.

The result? An unparalleled fusion of artistry and design that elevates the Mayfair Supper Club to new heights of sophistication and style. The groovy new Supper Club stands as a testament to the boundless creativity of MBDS, leaving guests in awe with its unsurpassed ambiance. And the inclusion of our exquisite Bronze Merboy Torchieres serves as the perfect finishing touch, casting a warm, enchanting glow that accentuates the allure of the space.
