LABRADOR SITTING ON STEP SCULPTURE

“This Labrador sculpture of Toby was commissioned alongside his companion Rio. He is an older dog who loves to sit on the steps at the back of his house and look out at the garden. He likely finds this comfortable for his hips and while he was very happy to have a good cuddle, he wasn’t nearly so lively as the younger labrador Rio!”

This bronze labrador statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Labrador Sitting on Step sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

10% of the proceeds from this bronze dog sculpture support ‘The Dogs Trust’ animal charity.

Which Material to Choose

Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.

Foundry Bronze  – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

Sculpture Description, Bases & Fixings

Suitable for outdoor display as a labrador garden ornament or labrador memorial statue.

This sculpture sits on step made of the same material as the sculpture. However, it can be provided without it, so it can be set on your own steps. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this and we can discuss step depths and measurements.

If requested this statue can be provided with screw-in threaded rods, which allow you to bolt it onto, or glue it into, hard surfaces. Alternatively, if requested, we can provide fixed (for bronze metal only) or screw-in security rings, which will allow you to lock the sculpture to a buried security chain.

This relaxed lifesized labrador statue is sculpted by the artist Tanya Russell, who is the UK’s pre-eminent dog sculptor. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the Labrador Sitting on Step statue will go to the ‘Dogs Trust’, a charity that provides sanctuary and rehoming services for dogs in the UK and also lobbies for welfare policy changes all over the world.

The Labrador Sitting on Step is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original clay labrador sculpture, taken from a mould. Your bronze dog sculpture can be cast in Bronze Resin or Foundry Bronze metal depending on which material you prefer.

How The Sculpture Was Made

I visited Toby and took lots of photographs of him in a variety of poses. I watched his expressions and mannerisms, and heard about the way he behaved at home with his family. After that, with his owners, I decided which pose would suit him best, then proceeded to model Toby in clay.

Once I’d sculpted Toby a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
