FAQs
Where do you ship this item?
This item currently ships to Ireland and Northern Ireland only.
How long does it take to dispatch?
Allow around 8 business days for processing before dispatch.
Can I personalise it?
Yes. Name and date are engraved on a gold-coloured plate with black lettering.
What is cold-cast bronze and how heavy is it?
Cold-cast bronze is made by blending real metallic bronze powder with a high-strength resin. It is poured into molds, cured, and then hand-polished. This process gives each piece the authentic weight, cool feel, and beautiful metallic shine of solid bronze, while allowing for extremely fine, detailed artwork.
How do I care for my bronze clock or plaque?
Simply dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, detergents, chemical sprays, or metal polishes, as these can wear away the protective hand-finished patina.
Can you cast a specific family crest?
Yes. Our makers have access to an extensive heraldic database of traditional Irish family crests. Simply provide your surname, and they will research and cast the crest historically associated with your family name.
