Edge Sculptures are the antiques and collectables of the future. Made in England by Sculptor Matt Buckley, they are thoughtfully sculpted with an emphasis on aesthetic design moulded with the mind’s eye.

Sloths are adorable creatures known for their slow lethargic movements. They live in the treetops in tropical rainforests in South and Central America. They spend much of their time snoozing in the tree canopy moving from tree to tree using vines. The Sloths slow and sluggish movement comes from them having a very low metabolic rate, they only travel around 41 yards per day!

This sloth sculpture shows the sloth in its natural habitat, relaxing on a tree branch probably preparing to take yet another snooze. This endearing sculpture measures in at 325mm wide, 187mm deep and 473mm high and will make fabulous talking point for any nature lover.

How Edge Sculptures are made

The original piece is moulded and given life from clay that is then expertly encapsulated in rubber to produce the parent mould.

The pieces are then cast from a durable composite granite and are vacuum sealed with a bleed as to remove compromising air bubbles from the structure. The curative period is then initiated and sustained until the structure is aptly hardened.

The piece is then meticulously examined and fettled as to outline the depth of detail and heighten the sculptures natural form. For finishing it is then passionately coloured, shaded and detailed by our expert artists; completing the creation of a masterpiece.
