Shark – Virdi Gris – Edge Sculpture – ED16VG

Description

Unlike the natural colours of the original shark figure, this beautiful piece has a verdi gris finish. Verdigris is the beautiful turquoise patina that occurs when bronze, brass, or copper is weathered over time. The Shark has been finished to cleverly mimic the beauty and age of time-worn metal surfaces. This figure will look stunning on a display as a key piece or for real impact, group it with another Verdi Gris figure such as the Octopus.

How the Verdi Gris Shark Figure is made

Antiques and collectables of the future are thoughtfully sculpted with an emphasis on aesthetic design moulded with the minds eye. 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.
