Minutemen were members of the organized New England colonial militia companies trained in weaponry, tactics, and military strategies during the American Revolutionary War. They were known for being ready at a minute’s notice, hence the name. The minutemen were among the first to fight in the American Revolution. Their teams constituted about a quarter of the entire militia. They were generally younger, more mobile, and provided with weapons and arms by the local governments. Minutemen knew the local countryside and were familiar with “skulking” or “Indian warfare”. They used trees and other obstacles to cover themselves from British gunfire and pursuit by British soldiers.

Description

Our handcrafted bronze sculptures are cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a multi-color patina and mounted on a black marble base with an etched brass plate that bears the name of the statue and the artist. Marble base on most smaller statues is included but optional, please let us know if you don’t want your statue mounted on a marble base.

Jumbo, life-size, monumental and heroic sizes do not come with a marble base.

Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery.

Color Choices – We usually cast and finish many of our sculptures with what is referred as multi-color patina. Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as Gold and other custom finish options. Bronze is a durable material that can withstand the test of time, making it a popular choice for sculptures that can last for centuries. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in nature’s elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but if not, can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue with a mild soap and water and by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent an aged patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference. Free shipping on all statues.

*Please note that most of our Bronze Statues / Sculptures sizes Jumbo, Monumental, and Heroic can be made into a fountain if desired. Contact us for prices. Under the Notes / Comments enter the description of where you want the water to come out.
