Description
The Caring Family is a 27.6cm wide polyresin figurine finished in an antique bronze effect, depicting two abstracted parental figures cradling a smaller central figure representing a child. The sculpture is cast in a single piece with a rough, distressed surface texture that mimics aged bronze, showing lighter bronze highlights on raised areas and darker patina in recesses.
Designed as a decorative accent for mantels, console tables, bookshelves and sideboards, the figurine measures 22.8cm tall and 11cm deep with a 1.45kg weight that gives it a stable presence without needing additional support. The abstracted forms — simplified elongated torsos, rounded heads, and flowing limbs — read clearly from a distance while the textured surface adds visual interest up close.
The antique bronze finish pairs with warm-toned interiors, traditional settings, and neutral contemporary schemes where a touch of figurative sculpture adds human scale. The polyresin material allows for finer detail in the casting than stone or concrete alternatives, particularly in the hands and the cradling gesture that forms the central composition. The piece sits on an oval plinth base that distributes the weight evenly across the supporting surface.

Frequently Asked
What is the figurine made from?
The figurine is cast from polyresin, a composite material that combines resin with powdered stone or metal fillers. This allows for detailed casting and a durable finish while remaining lighter than solid bronze. The antique bronze effect is applied as a surface finish over the cured polyresin.
How is the bronze finish maintained?
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid water, household cleaners and polishes, as these can strip or alter the distressed finish. The intentionally rough surface texture may hold dust in recesses — a soft brush can help reach these areas without damaging the patina.
Where does the figurine work best?
The 27.6cm width suits mantels, console tables, wide bookshelves and sideboards where there is at least 30cm of clear horizontal space. The abstracted figurative form reads well from seating distance in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, and the neutral bronze tone pairs with most interior colour schemes.
Can it be displayed outdoors?
No. Polyresin is not weather-resistant. Prolonged exposure to moisture, UV light and temperature fluctuation will degrade the material and strip the bronze finish. The figurine is designed for indoor use only.
