Thomas the Dorset Hare Bronze Sculpture by Thomas Meadows

Thomas the Dorset Hare Bronze Sculpture Standing upright with his ears raised and an inquisitive expression, Thomas looks as though he has just heard something moving across the Dorset countryside. His wonderfully characterful pose and beautifully textured finish make him an eye-catching sculpture for a mantelpiece, console table, bookcase or sideboard. Thomas was created by British painter and sculptor Thomas Meadows, who works from his studio in Dorset. The sculpture was inspired by the hares Meadows observes close to his home and forms part of his distinctive collection for Frith Sculpture. Crafted from cold-cast bronze and carefully finished by hand, Thomas has the rich appearance and substantial feel of traditional bronze while allowing the sculptor’s expressive surface detail to be captured beautifully. Subtle variations in the hand-applied finish help make every sculpture individual. At approximately 34 cm tall, Thomas is large enough to make an impressive decorative statement without overwhelming a room. He would make a memorable gift for a hare lover, wildlife enthusiast, sculpture collector or anyone who enjoys distinctive British-made home accessories.

Care instructions To keep your sculpture looking its best: Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, polish and chemical cleaning products. Keep away from prolonged moisture and direct sources of heat. Display indoors on a stable, level surface. Lift the sculpture from its body rather than its ears or legs.
