In the hustle and bustle of the city, we often see such a scene: one or more majestic bronze lion statues stand proudly in the center of the square or in front of the gate of a private manor, telling the story of strength and dignity with their majestic posture and delicate details.
A pair of regular-sized bronze lion sculptures will cost between $4,280 and $5,600, but the exact price will depend on the style, details, supplier, and other factors you choose. In the following content, we will unveil the mystery behind the price of bronze lion statues and explore the key factors that affect price fluctuations.
Factors that Affect Lion Statue Price
The factors that affect lion sculptures can be roughly divided into clay molds, custom designs, casting processes and the selected suppliers. These factors basically determine how much you will spend to buy a pair or a single bronze lion.
Is There a Ready-made Clay Model?
The clay model is the basic premise for the formal casting of lion sculptures, because subsequent work needs to be carried out on the basis of this clay mold. A realistic clay model requires experienced artists to carve it purely by hand, and the complexity of the details also determines the entire production time, so it is also a very important process.
Therefore, if a foundry has a ready-made clay model of the style you like, it will greatly shorten the construction period and save you waiting time. Most importantly, it will also save you hundreds to thousands of dollars in clay model fees.
For example, on YouFine, the classic pair of bronze HSBC lion sculpture below is about 1.1 meters long and costs between $5,600 and $6580. But because we have a ready-made clay model, it only costs $4,980 to $5,480.
Customization Requirements
Different customization requirements determine the complexity of your bronze lion, and therefore also affect the length of the entire construction period.
In addition, some people like a realistic appearance, so they are very strict about the hair, hoping to restore the lion’s domineering appearance. But some customers just like abstract rough lines, so the sculpture does not have many complex details. The latter will have a shorter construction period and a cheaper price than the former.
It is worth mentioning that YouFine provides free customization services, including the color, size, design, etc. of the lion sculpture. The professional team of designers can adjust the design according to the needs of customers and provide 3D drawings. You can also choose to carve on the sculpture to make this lion unique.
Casting Technique
Casting technique is also one of the determining factors of the bronze lion statue price. Most foundries choose the lost wax method, but YouFine chooses to introduce advanced technique on this basis, constantly innovate, and improve the overall quality of bronze lion sculptures.
For example, in the casting process, we abandoned the traditional ammonia and adopted silica sol. This change minimizes the occurrence of white spots and green spots on the sculpture.
White spots on sculptures are a problem encountered by many customers when purchasing from many factories, so they turn to YouFine for help. However, this phenomenon is irreversible, so strict requirements for the process can avoid detours.
Foundry or Agent
The choice of supplier is also very important. Obviously, if you choose a distributor, they will make a difference in price, and the profit is unknown. But if you choose a direct sales factory, their factory price will naturally be cheaper than the distributor.
In short, after considering the above factors, I sincerely hope that you can buy a bronze lion sculpture that you are satisfied with. Of course, YouFine is also an excellent choice.
