Description
The Athena is a 19cm polyresin figurine depicting a seated feminine form with arms folded and knees drawn, finished in a rough-textured antique bronze that reveals lighter tonal highlights across the raised surfaces. The figure is cast as a single piece with a flat base, allowing it to sit stable on shelves, mantelpieces, desks and side tables without needing additional support.
Designed as a decorative accent for living rooms, bedrooms, studies and reception areas, the Athena works in interiors where sculptural form adds visual weight without demanding bright colour. The bronze finish pairs well with dark wood furniture, neutral upholstery and metal-framed accessories. At 13cm wide and 15cm deep, the footprint is compact enough for narrow shelving or grouped arrangements with books and smaller objects.
The distressed bronze finish is applied to the polyresin base through a multi-stage process that builds up texture and tonal variation, giving the appearance of aged metal rather than smooth resin. The rough surface catches light unevenly, creating shadow and highlight across the contours of the figure. At 1.23kg the figurine has enough mass to resist being knocked over by everyday contact but remains light enough to reposition easily.

Frequently Asked
What is the figurine made from?
The Athena is cast from polyresin, a composite material that takes fine detail and accepts surface finishes. The antique bronze appearance is applied as a multi-stage finish over the resin base, not solid metal.
Can it be placed outdoors?
No. Polyresin is not weatherproof and the finish will degrade if exposed to moisture, frost or sustained UV. The figurine is designed for indoor display only.
How is it cleaned?
Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the resin or using household cleaners that may strip the bronze finish.
Does the finish vary between pieces?
The distressed bronze finish is applied by hand, so slight tonal variation and texture differences occur between individual pieces. This is characteristic of the production method, not a defect.
