Copper Whale Fountain by Metropolitan Galleries was cast by the traditional, lost-wax bronze casting method. This labor-intensive and time-consuming method of casting bronze statues ensures pristine quality and vivid detail. Metropolitan Galleries, Inc. offers a large selection of bronze statues and bronze fountains perfect for indoor and outdoor use. This sculpture features intricate, hand-forged details with a beautiful fire-applied patina. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in nature's elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired but can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent a patina from forming.

Absolutely gorgeous! Looks like something from Italy! I love it!!!. Leisa. Galveston, TX. Tue Feb 06 2024

I love our statue. We call her Shelly after the shell she is holding. Well crafted and so sweet an addition to our landscape. Delivery was prompt and smooth.. Dorothy. Manhattan, KS. Sat Apr 03 2021

While this fountain is easy to assemble, multiple people are required for the assembly due to the weight of the fountain components. This fountain produces an echo sound that can be heard at distance, but drowned out by moderate traffic noise, and a minimal amount of splash.

I like it. Its burble is relaxing to listen to. Color-wise, it’s not quite what I expected. It’s lighter. Perhaps it will darken with age. Though it wasn’t hard to assemble, the instructions could have been clearer. On the plus side, the pump’s flow is adjustable and the light can be unplugged without affecting the pump. I bought a timer for it so I wouldn’t have to unplug it at night. It works well.. Kevin. Arlington, VA. Sat Dec 04 2021
