Description

Poppy by Richard Cooper Bronze

The wild Poppy, a cherished symbol of hope and love makes itself known in this heart-warming design by Michael Simpson.  The open flower-head providing just enough comfort and shelter for a tiny mouse as it takes a little rest. The whole design is cast in bronze resin and the mouse and poppy delicately hand painted in artist’s oils.

Your little mouse is packed in a branded box with 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.
