This fantastically and rare detailed Austin sculpture has been fully restored and has no chips, cracks or damage of any kind. Sculpture has been painted in a deep brown bronze finish with a light texture and a heavy lacquer top coat. New felt added to base. Durastone is a special formulation of crushed stone mixed in a slurry, hand-cast and hand-finished.

I have been working on a passion project that involves purchasing sculptures from various sources and with varying degrees of damage. It has been a labor of love with countless hours and loads of hard work. My goal is to restore these pieces back to their original grandeur, sometimes with an updated color palate when appropriate. I hope to not only keep another artist’s masterpiece living on for a few more decades, but to introduce the next generation to sculptures as home décor that may otherwise end up in our landfills.

Sculptures are not just art; they are three-dimensional stories that invoke many feelings and memories. Thank you for looking at my collection of restored treasures and I hope you find one that tells your story.
