Life-size bronze tiger statues are stunning works of art that bring to life the grace and power of these big cats. But when you consider adding a tiger statue to your environment, you might wonder: how much do they cost? In this blog post, we’ll explore the factors that influence price and give you a clearer understanding of this artistic investment.
Factors that Affect Price
The price of a life-size bronze tiger sculpture is about $4,000 to $4,500, and the larger the size, the more expensive it is. At the same time, there are also some other factors that affect the price of tiger sculptures:
Clay Model
The clay model is the prerequisite for the official start of the bronze tiger sculpture casting journey and the foundation for the subsequent steps, so it is a very important part. It takes about a week to carve a clay model, which is also included in the construction period. Therefore, if a factory can provide ready-made clay models, it will save you hundreds to thousands of dollars in clay model fees and waiting time.
Material
Different materials will also lead to different prices for tiger sculptures. As the name suggests, bronze tigers are cast from bronze materials. Bronze is an alloy composed of various metal elements, so the pure copper content has also become a concern for many customers. You should know that the higher the pure copper content, the better the sculpture, because this reduces the hardness of the sculpture.
At the same time, the thickness of the material is also very important. Some factories will reduce the thickness of bronze in order to reduce costs, which will directly reduce the quality of the sculpture. Therefore, too low a price may also be due to material problems. After all, “the wool comes from the sheep’s back”.
Casting Technique
Most foundries choose the lost wax casting process, which is a traditional and classic casting technique. We need to pay attention to the materials selected in the casting process, such as whether the sand is fine enough when making the sand shell, whether the material selected is ammonia or silica sol, etc.
Silica sol technique is a technique that can effectively prevent white spots or green spots on bronze tiger sculptures, but some foundries choose lower-cost ammonia in order to reduce costs.
Therefore, when choosing a supplier, understanding his technique is important information to judge whether a factory is reliable.
Foundry or Middlemen
Whether the supplier you choose is a direct sales factory will also affect the price, because if it is a middleman, he will definitely make a profit in the middle.
