Sculpture Purchase Options
|
Sculpture pricing and sales are divided into two separate categories: plaster editions and bronze editions. Plaster
editions are sold as editions of 25. Bronze editions are likewise sold as editions of 25. There are a number of
sculptures that can be purchased as either a plaster edition or as a bronze edition.
Plaster Editions: The plaster editions are shown as completed sculptures, fully patina'd, mounted on an oil finished
wood base, signed and dated by the artist, and sometimes available at the time of purchase. The plaster editions often
represent studies for the much larger bronze editions. One bronze edition may be the end result of several plaster
studies. Some of the plaster studies are unique designs.
Bronze Editions: The bronze editions are made at the foundry. A hand selected, marble base is included in the
purchase price. Once a purchase has been arranged, we then place an order with the foundry to make a bronze
edition. Depending on the size and the complexity of the sculpture being purchased, a completed bronze is typically
available from the foundry within fourteen weeks from the date of the order. All foundry editions are signed and dated
by the artist and stamped by the foundry. Delivery or shipping charges to the buyer's destination are contracted on an
individual basis at the time of the purchase. Delivery from the foundry back to the gallery is included in the purchase
agreement at no charge. Some buyers will choose to retrieve the bronze sculpture from the gallery.
Pedestals: If you would like to purchase a pedestal, we would be delighted to assist you with that request. We offer a
clear mahogany, or maple, tongue oiled pedestal that is custom made for us by an elite woodworking company here in
New Hampshire. We will include the Purchase Invoice from the woodworking company at the time of the sculpture
delivery. We do not add a charge to this invoice for this service. The cost of the pedestal will be included in the
remaining balance which is due at the time of delivery.
Payment Options: At this time, we accept two forms of payment: cash and personal checks. We have not yet added
credit card transactions to the business. We apologize for any inconvenience that this creates. As for the actual
purchase of a sculpture [as a plaster or as a bronze], we welcome the option of interest free, monthly payments for up
to twelve months. We would ask that the sculpture remain in our showroom until the concluding payment has been
made.
Bronze editions require a 50% down payment of the purchase price to secure a foundry order. The remaining balance
is due upon completion of the bronze edition at the foundry. Should the buyer choose to purchase a bronze edition via
monthly payments, that request is easy to accommodate. We simply collect payments until the accumulated balance
has reached 50% of the purchase price. At that time, we then secure a foundry order while the remaining balance
continues to be paid down with monthly payments.
Plaster editions require a 50% down payment of the purchase price. The remaining balance is due upon completion.
Some plaster editions are available for sale at the time of purchase. Plaster editions that need to be ordered are
typically completed within six weeks from the time of the order. An oil finished wood base is included in the purchase
price.
Enlargements: Pricing on our website is specific to the actual dimensions of the sculpture shown. The price for
an enlargement of an existing sculpture would need to be re-calculated depending on the actual size requested. The
size of an individual sculpture is completely variable. All of the artist originals displayed on our website can be enlarged
at the foundry to virtually any desired size. Original commissioned sculptures can be made to any size at the outset.
Outdoor bronze sculptures tend to be larger than the indoor bronze sculptures, but not always.
