Bronze Figure “Mercury” on Black Marble Column - high-polish finish - H. 49 cm

Mercury all in gold: the messenger god as polished bronze that catches every light in the room.

His natural stage is dark walls, black furniture or a cabinet with its own lighting, where the gold shines brightest. As patron of trade and travellers he suits an office as well as a living room.

At a glance

• Material: Solid bronze, black marble column
• Colour: Gold / black
• Dimensions: 12,4 x 15,6 x 49 cm
• Weight: 3,66 kg

Craftsmanship

After lost-wax casting the figure is chased and polished all over to a mirror finish, so every contour flashes gold. Mercury hovers on one toe above the wind head, right hand raised, the caduceus in his left. The black, white-veined marble column ends in a polished bronze rim above and a leaf frieze below.

Care

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Over the years polished bronze may darken a little, which is part of the material's nature.
