Description

Monumental Classical Hero and Sea Creature Bronze Fountain, standing 400cm tall and weighing 5,000kg, this is a commanding centrepiece of the highest order. A heroic muscular male figure kneels forward with both hands prising open the jaws of a vast scaly sea creature, the beast reclining on a surging wave-form base beneath him as water jets dramatically from its open mouth.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished in Gold

Cast using the traditional lost-wax method, this fountain is produced in solid cast bronze with exceptional attention to surface detail. The muscular anatomy of the hero, the layered scales and articulated fins of the creature, and the turbulent rocky base are each resolved with the precision that only hand-finishing can achieve. The entire sculpture is dressed in a highly polished gold gilded finish, delivering uniform high-reflectivity coverage across every surface. The result reads with the visual weight of antique gilt bronze work while remaining fully weatherproof for permanent outdoor installation.

At this scale and finish, the fountain is designed exclusively for outdoor environments with significant architectural presence. Grand formal gardens, hotel and resort forecourts, private estate water features, and civic plazas are the natural settings. The gold finish pairs strongly with dark evergreen planting, pale stone terracing, and reflective pool surrounds. A hardened level concrete pad with integrated water supply and drainage infrastructure will be required prior to installation.
