Red Squirrel & Baby
Bronze Limited Edition of 150
The Red Squirrel is one of our favourite animals, immortalised as Squirrel Nutkin in Beatrix Potter books, so distinctive with its tufted ears, bushy tail, and the rusty red of its coat. This adorable scene by Michael Simpson sees the mother with her young.

The Squirrel & baby are made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design is finished by the art of patination, where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze, and heat is applied to create a deep, rich brown patina. The bronze is then sealed with a special wax, which further enhances the colour and protects it for years to come.
Your bronze 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.
