The bronze statue is a timeless piece of art that transcends the boundaries. As a result, people generally consider bronze sculptures to be very expensive. But actually, the price of the bronze statue cost may be acceptable for you. Today, we will explore the price of bronze statues, using the 6-foot bronze statue as an example.
As an experienced sculpture factory, Relong factory calculated that the approximate value of a 6-foot bronze statue is about 3,000 -5,000 US dollars.
The cost of the 6-foot bronze statue can vary widely on the material, the complexity of the design, and the factory craftsmanship. If you want to know why is a bronze statue’s price so different, this guide will lead you to explore the various factors that influence its cost.
Main Factors that Influence the Cost:
Statue Complexity:
The complexity of the bronze statue’s design is a critical factor. The simple, abstract bronze statue will cost less than a highly detailed one. The more intricate the details, the more time and effort are required to create the sculpture, increasing the labor cost. The custom bronze statues with unique designs and realistic details will absolutely cost more than abstract bronze sculptures. To give a simple example, every bronze statue needs to make a clay model first. A 6-foot-figure clay model is much more complex than an abstract clay model. The time and energy spent on the figure model may be twice that of the abstract model. During the casting process, a complex statue needs more time and energy. Therefore, the specific price of a 6-foot bronze statue could be judged based on your design.
Normally, a customized 6-foot bronze statue from a real person costs about 3500-5000 USD(from the design confirmation to finish). And the simple and abstract 6-foot bronze statue cost about 3000-4000$.
Material Cost:
The bronze statue is cast of durable copper material. The price of bronze and copper materials will fluctuate based on the market conditions. Typically, the costs are calculated per pound, and a 6-foot statue can require hundreds of pounds of material. High-quality bronze will cost more, but it ensures durability and a better finish.
Artists and Craftsmanship:
As we mentioned above, the cast of a bronze statue requires many processes, usually 33 steps. If you want to get a high-quality bronze statue, the artists and craftsmanship are important too. You could observe the clay model and sculpture projects the supplier has finished. From the delicate details of the bronze statue(like the facial expression, the finger, hair etc.), you could have a rough understanding.
Supplier You Choose:
There are many ways to buy bronze sculptures, but the price range can vary widely. The supplier you choose is very important which not only varies in price but also in quality. Choosing the right supplier would help save your budget.
You may notice that the local shop store in European countries has lots higher prices than shopping online. According to the feedback from our European and American customers, buying a 6-foot bronze statue in their local stores normally requires over 10000$. That is because the local material and labor costs are more expensive than in other counties.
