Bronze Fairy Garden Statues Look Great in Your Garden

Bronze garden statues are beautiful and popular in fairy gardens. They make the viewer feel like they are in a magical world. Some people love bronze garden statues because they make their fairy gardens look more mystical, while others love them because they are durable and weather resistant.

Bird Fairy Cast Bronze Garden Statue: Medium

Lets start with the most affordable bronze fairy statue I have found which I am currently saving up for, when I finally get it I will post more pictures here! I really just love everything about it, the fairy, the wings, the bird, to me it conveys anticipation, movement, and excitement. This is a great first item for those who are getting started with bronze garden statues, It also comes in a larger version as well.

“Releasing a dove of peace to its freedom, our beautifully petite fairy charms with detail from her butterfly wings to her demurely pointed toes.” This “almost-foot-wide bronze nature statue is expertly finished with a hand-applied, classic sepia bronze patina accented by an antiqued emerald verde patina to bring out the amazing detail.”

Reviews are very positive with Kristin from Montgomery, Alabama saying “…stunning! Absolutely love her…I don’t think that I could be more pleased with her.” Leeb from Tennessee states “This fairy is a beautiful bronze with fine detail. It is very well made and makes a lovely indoor or outdoor centerpiece. If you are looking for a sculpture piece but can’t budget for an original she is expensive but not overly breaking the bank for the quality.”

However, if it is in your price range and you are looking for a large beautiful bronze fairy statue for your garden, this one is my favorite fairy design.

“Releasing a dove of peace to its freedom, our beautifully large fairy charms with detail from our fairy butterfly wings to her demurely pointed fairy toes.” This “two-foot-long bronze nature statue…is cast and crafted one piece at a time in the traditional lost wax method, which highlights the detail of the sculpt and guarantees lasting beauty.”

Pros include the magnificent beauty and absolutely huge size of the sculpture, cons are that because it is so huge and made out of a valuable metal, this is one of the most expensive garden statues I have come across. (Although at the time of this writing the price has been reduced by over 30%!)

Care and Maintenance of Your Bronze Fairy Garden Statues

Bronze statues can maintain their appearance for centuries, even in outdoor environments, as long as they are properly cared for. Luckily maintaining these statues is easy and involves just some basic periodic cleaning and waxing.

Warnings and Precautions

The patina (the colored part of the statue) is actually a part of the sculpture that has been converted chemically, it is not paint! Different chemicals can change the color of the patina so it is important to keep all forms of cleaning solutions, bug or fertilizer sprays, chlorine, or any other chemicals off of your statue. If your statue also serves as a water feature, do not use chlorinated water, this will erode it!

Sculptures usually have a coating of paste wax when they are new to keep oxygen from interacting with the surface and causing oxidization. Unfortunately this wears off over time and if not properly cared for, the bronze and patina can age prematurely. You should never use any abrasive cleaning pads on the sculpture and never mount bronze directly to a steel base (except stainless steel with an alloy number of 3/16 or greater) or it will cause electrolysis, which will deteriorate both metals.

Washing and Waxing

If there are bird droppings or tree resin on the statue they should be washed off immediately. Otherwise, you will know its time to wash if dust, dirt, or etc. have accumulated on the statue. If the statue has become dull in appearance, it needs to be waxed. To wash bronze statues you should use warm water and cloths that are soft. You should use a non-ionic cleaner for this and make sure to thoroughly rinse the statue when completed.

Very rarely a hardened deposit of some sort may need to be removed, only soft plastics (like a plastic spatula) should be used to do this. Next allow the statue to dry completely, this may take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on the temperature outside. All the water must be completely out of the pores of the metal before performing the next step.

Then apply a wax (make sure it does not contain turpentine or spirits) to the surface. Use a soft bristle brush to apply the wax in a circular motion. It should be applied uniformly to the surface in a thin coat. You can wipe excess wax off the brush onto a paper towel to avoid applying too much. After allowing the wax to dry for at least 20 minutes, the surface should be gently buffed with soft cloths
