LYING CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL SCULPTURE
“This Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sculpture was modelled on Norah, an older, sweet and gentle spaniel. Norah was commissioned in 2016 along with her companion Martha, also a King Charles.
Norah was a delight. She enjoyed lying down and tipping on her side for a stroke and got lots of attention from her loving owners. Her pose is softer and ‘at home’.”
This bronze cavalier king charles spaniel statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Lying Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 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.

The Lying Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original clay Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 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
After taking Nora’s measurements I took lots of photographs of her in a variety of poses, watching her expressions and mannerisms, and hearing about the way she behaved at home with her family. After that, with her owners, I decided which pose would suit Dotti best, then proceeded to model her in clay.
Once I’d sculpted Dotti 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.
