Ex Libris
is a special creation. Properly situated, it can add a lot of character to a room, lending it a pensive and dreamy mood.
Moreover, you can add a custom color patina to this sculpture to help it better complement your existing decor. Parkes employs special, historical techniques to customize the patina, giving it a classy finish that’s bound to catch the eye.
The sculpture itself is crafted using the ‘lost-wax’ method in Florence, Italy. Parkes uses hard wax to create the initial model. This allows him to express the finest details, including the angel’s delicate frame and features and the precise carvings along its wings. Once the model is ready, he creates a counter mold, which serves to make the final bronze casting.
Parkes truly is at the forefront of magical realism. Don’t miss out on a chance to collect your very own limited edition
