Description
Candlestick by Richard Cooper Bronze
This scene. reminiscent of vintage animation, childhood story books and even Dickens Novels has been skillfully designed and sculpted by Michael Simpson. Our little mouse is seen peering out from behind the candle of an old Victorian candle holder. Fortunately for him, the candle is out meaning that this secret hiding spot will never be found out!
The whole piece is cast in bronze resin and the little mouse carefully hand painted in artist’s oils. It is presented in a branded box with a colour booklet detailing the full collection.
The company started life to design and manufacture limited edition foundry bronze sculptures and collectibles. The founder, Richard Cooper, had previously owned Country Artists Ltd, of Stratford upon Avon. A company he had also founded. This was a successful company designing and manufacturing animals, birds and a wide collection of wildlife subjects from around the world. All the sculptures were made in resin and hand painted in sizes from miniature to life size.
When the company was sold in 2004 Richard was not ready to retire and decided to start a new venture in the same arena but in bronze rather than resin as the base material.
Initially, Richard decided to develop comparatively large sculptures of wildlife studies and figurative work suitable for art galleries in contrast to the smaller subjects from the previous company, which were sold to gift shops.
