Words really cannot describe how much we love this beautiful sculpture!
At Nelson & Forbes, our love for cats runs deep, especially for our favourite big, fluffy, long haired ones .
This stunning sculpture perfectly encapsulates the unique blend of aloofness and softness that we adore in our feline friends.
The true highlight of this piece is the incredible texture of the coat and tail. Sue Maclaurin has crafted a special technique to render the thick, soft fur in bronze, and the final patina applied to the sculpture enhances this texture beautifully, adding delicate highlights to all the right places and really bringing it to life.
For years, we’ve received requests for Sue to design one of her iconic cats with long hair.
We’re excited to finally present this to you! This striking life size sculpture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor display. Whether you want your beloved cat’s personality to accompany you in the living room or keep an eye on you from a favorite spot in the garden, the choice is yours.
This glorious sculpture measures 30.5cm/12” high, and weighs an impressive 10.5kg / 23lb. It is so incredibly realistic that we challenge you not to give its head a stroke!
Garden Long Haired Sitting Cat is lovingly cast by hand in our British foundry as a limited edition of just 95 castings worldwide.
Cast entirely in foundry bronze (NOT resin/'cold cast' bronze!), every casting is marked with our NF maker’s mark, the artist’s signature and its own unique edition number, marking it out as a truly unique piece.
Your sculpture arrives with an individually numbered and artist signed certificate of authenticity. This is your guarantee that this is an original Nelson & Forbes bronze casting of a Sue Maclaurin sculpture that she has personally approved.
This piece arrives with hidden fixings, available for you to use should you wish to secure it to the ground or other mounting outside. As is true for all of our sculpture, this piece is suitable for display either inside or out.
This sculpture arrives carefully hand packed in a bespoke, handmade wooden crate, ensuring that you receive it in perfect condition, and, as with all of our sculpture, delivery is free worldwide!
