Description
The Duxford is a 31.2cm-tall figurine depicting four abstracted human figures seated side-by-side on a horizontal frame, cast in polyresin and finished in antique bronze. The two taller central figures lean slightly towards each other, with two smaller figures seated at the outer edges, creating a composition that suggests family or close companionship without literal facial detail or narrative context.
Designed for mantels, bookshelves, console tables and sideboards in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, the figurine sits on a textured rectangular plinth that acts as both base and visual grounding for the metal frame. The vertical and horizontal bars of the frame contrast with the organic forms of the seated figures, giving the piece a contemporary sculptural presence that suits both modern and transitional interiors.
The antique bronze finish combines dark gunmetal grey with bronze highlights that catch light on the raised surfaces of the figures and patinate darker in the recesses, giving the polyresin casting the visual weight and tonal variation of metal. The distressed, rough texture replicates hand-worked bronze without the weight or cost of solid metal — the entire piece weighs 1.6kg and measures 25cm wide by 8cm deep, allowing it to sit comfortably on narrow shelving without dominating the space.

Frequently Asked
What is the figurine made from?
The Duxford is cast from polyresin (a composite resin material) and finished to replicate antique bronze. It is not solid metal, which keeps the weight manageable at 1.6kg and makes it safer for display on open shelving.
Where does it work best in a room?
The 31.2cm height and narrow 8cm depth suit mantels, console tables, sideboards and bookshelves. The figurine reads clearly from across a room but does not need a deep surface to sit securely.
How is the antique bronze finish maintained?
Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. The distressed finish hides fingerprints and minor marks. Do not use metal polish or abrasive cleaners, as they may strip the patinated surface.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes. The abstracted family grouping makes it a common choice for anniversaries, housewarmings and family milestones without being overly sentimental or narrative-heavy in its design.
