Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here are answers to common queries before starting your creative journey with us.
How do you ensure an accurate likeness?
We use your four photos to create a high-fidelity 3D digital rendering. You will receive a Digital Proof to review and approve before we begin the permanent casting process.
What is the production timeline?
Because this is a handcrafted fine-art commission, the process typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from the moment you approve your digital proof to final delivery.
Can I request changes to the design?
Yes. Your satisfaction is paramount. You can request refinements during the digital proofing stage to ensure the features and expression perfectly honor your loved one.
Is the bust solid bronze?
We use the traditional "Lost-Wax" casting method, resulting in a heavy, thick-walled bronze sculpture. It possesses the significant weight and enduring quality of a true monument.
How do I maintain the sculpture?
Bronze is remarkably low-maintenance. A simple dusting with a soft, dry cloth is all that is needed to preserve the artisan finish for a lifetime.
