Kissing Couple on Bike Antique Bronze Figurine - 35.4cm

This Kissing Couple on Bike figurine depicts two figures in mid-kiss, one leaning forward on a bicycle frame to meet the other standing beside it. The piece is cast in polyresin with a textured antique bronze patina over a matt black rectangular base. The rough, distressed finish on the bronze gives the surface visible tonal variation and a hand-aged appearance rather than a uniform metallic sheen.

At 35.4cm wide and 29cm tall, the figurine suits console tables, bookshelves, mantelpieces and sideboards in living rooms, bedrooms and hallway spaces. The 8cm depth means it sits comfortably on narrow surfaces without overhanging. The 1.4kg weight gives it stability without requiring additional anchoring, and the matt black base provides a defined footprint that sits flush on wood, painted or glass surfaces.

The stylised human forms are abstracted rather than detailed, with elongated proportions and simplified features that lean towards contemporary sculptural art rather than literal representation. The bicycle frame uses black metal detailing that contrasts with the bronze figures, adding structural definition to the composition. The patina varies across the surface, with darker recesses in the textured areas and lighter bronze on the high points, giving depth to the sculptural forms.

What is the figurine made from?

The figurine is cast from polyresin with an applied antique bronze finish. It is not solid metal, which keeps the weight at 1.4kg rather than the several kilograms a bronze casting would weigh. The base is matt black, likely polyresin or painted wood.

How is the bronze finish maintained?

The textured antique bronze patina is a decorative finish rather than real bronze, so it does not tarnish or require polishing. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid household sprays or abrasive cleaners that could damage the distressed finish.

What shelf depth does it need?

The figurine measures 8cm from front to back, so it fits comfortably on shelves or console tables with a depth of 15cm or more, leaving clearance behind and in front of the piece.

Is the piece fragile?

Polyresin is more resilient than ceramic or plaster but can still crack or chip if dropped onto a hard floor. The extended bicycle frame and limbs are the most vulnerable points. Handle by the base when moving.
