SITTING FRENCH BULLDOG SCULPTURE

“Alfie was a French Bulldog who was commissioned as part of a memorial to Beth, a beautiful and kind-spirited woman in the United States. Alfie and two other Frenchies Gigi and Darby were there when she passed, and two were commissioned (to join one of my existing French Bulldog sculptures) to sit at the bottom of a stairway to heaven sculpture.”

This bronze french bulldog statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the French Bulldog Lifting Paw 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.

This handsome lifesized french bulldog 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 Sitting French Bulldog 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 Sitting French Bulldog is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original clay french bulldog dog 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 did not meet Alfie, but received a lot of photos from his owner and heard about her expressions and mannerisms, and heard about the way he behaved at home with her family. After that, with his owners, I decided which pose would suit him best, then proceeded to model Alfie in clay.

Once I’d sculpted Alfie 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.
