Richard Cooper Bronze Large Conker with Snail by Michael Simpson

The largest of the collection, this intricate piece has a removable conker and lid. The design of the case incorporates a tiny snail resting on the twig, and has been intricately hand painted 

The Conker is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design finished by the art of patination where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create deep rich brown and green patinas.  The tiny snail is delicately hand painted in artists oils. Then bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.

Your Conker is beautifully presented in a printed box containing a signed certificate of authenticity. The bronze is engraved with the sculptor’s signature and limited edition number, matching the certificate enclosed.
