Limited edition bronze figurative sculpture by an Australian sculptor

What an edition means

Original work, made in a defined run.

An edition is not a reproduction. Each cast is made from the artist’s mould and finished by hand, which is why no two are quite identical.

Edition size

Most of our sculptors work in runs of ten or fewer. A smaller edition means greater scarcity, and it shows in how the work holds value.

Numbering

Works are numbered and signed by the artist, usually stamped into the base or the underside, along with the foundry mark where relevant.

Provenance

Every purchase comes with a certificate of authenticity recording the artist, title, edition number, materials, dimensions and year.

Limited edition and interior sculpture

Many of our sculptors cast or fabricate in limited runs, typically editions of ten or fewer. Limited edition works give collectors the craftsmanship and permanence of original sculpture at a more accessible price than a unique work, and they hold value well. We can advise on edition size, remaining availability and provenance documentation for any work in our collection.

Materials and where they suit

Bronze ages well and holds up indefinitely outdoors, which makes it a practical choice for garden, courtyard and entry positions. Stainless and fabricated metal read cleaner and more contemporary, and change noticeably with the light through the day. Glass and mixed media editions generally belong indoors. We will tell you plainly which material suits the position you have in mind.

Buying with the long term in view

We are not financial advisors. What we can tell you is which Australian sculptors are building serious careers, how a particular edition has moved over the years we have handled it, and how many of a run are left. Low numbers in a small edition by an artist with a growing exhibition record are usually the works that appreciate. See our advisory service if you want that conversation in full.

Siting, plinths and care

Every sale includes advice on siting, pedestal, maintenance and long term care. Where a work needs a base we design and fabricate custom plinths matched to the piece, and for larger works we handle installation across the Sydney metro area, including Mosman, Clontarf, Double Bay, Bondi, Manly and Cronulla.

Questions

Asked often enough to answer.

Ask us how many of an edition are left before you decide.

Is a limited edition an original?

Yes. Each piece is cast or fabricated from the artist’s own mould and hand finished, which is a different thing entirely to a printed reproduction. We do not sell prints or reproductions of any kind.

How do I know how many are left?

Ask us. We track remaining availability for the editions we carry and will tell you the number before you commit, along with where the earlier casts went if we know.

Do editions hold their value?

Generally they hold well, particularly small editions by artists with a consistent exhibition record. We are not financial advisors, but we are happy to tell you what we have seen in this market over 30 years.

Can a bronze edition live outdoors?

Bronze is well suited to it and ages attractively. We advise on patina selection, outdoor sealing and the maintenance required to keep the work looking its best in Sydney conditions, including coastal sites.
