ASTOUNDING SKELETONS and SKULLS!

 

TWIN SKELETONS

ASHTRAY

in

SOLID BRONZE

 



 

A global one-off!

 

All moulds were destroyed after your Twin Skeletons Ashtray was made

 

It is completely unique

 

 

Weighing in at approx one kg, with a height of approx 10cm and a diameter of over 18cm, this beautiful creation has been hand-made from solid bronze. 

 

Modelled on The Children of the Hydra’s Teeth, the skeletal warriors from the all-time classic adventure film, ‘Jason and the Argonauts’, 2 skeletons are steadying your solid bronze ashtray.  One skelly is clearly furious with the other, and is brandishing his sword!

 

You are getting a totally unique Item of exceptional quality.  Hand-crafted in a British armoury by a highly-skilled, time-served artisan, your 2 Skeletons Ashtray is a beautiful piece of art for your daily use!

 

The entirely manual production of this incredibly intricate Item took one craftsperson a full 10 hour day to complete.  Its retail value is £450.

 

Your ashtray is listed as ‘used’, since it was displayed in the Armoury Showroom, and occasionally craftily used by visitors!

 

The Armoury that made your item also makes swords on personal commission for Royalty and the famous.  They custom-make items to order for discerning collectors worldwide and have a very long waiting list.  They are suppliers to the Royal Armouries’ National Museum of Arms and Armour.  They also design and make unique sculptures for world-famous musicians.  Such is their quality and craftsmanship that sums in excess of £20 000 are commanded for their work.

Manufacturing Process – Bronze Skeletons.  The Armoury made a first generation wax master of the skeletons and ashtray in sections, ie, feet, heels, shoulders and collarbones, pelvis, rib cages, skulls, etc.  These were then finished in solid bronze and hot moulded.  Once set, the skeletons and ashtray were ‘fettered’, ie, finished by hand, so that all welds and impurities were polished off.  Each skeleton was then ‘patinated’, ie, blackened with sulphur, and finally waxed.

 

All moulds were destroyed after your Twin Skeletons Ashtray was made.  There will only ever be this one.



  

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY

 

Your piece of art comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA), originating from and signed by the artisan who made it.  As a legitimate CoA, it contains specific details about the art, such as when and how it was produced, the art's exact title and dimensions and it also includes his or her complete and current contact information.

 

 

Your collection of skeletons and skulls is totally exclusive; you will not see anything of similar quality elsewhere.  These superb creations were built to captivate, to enjoy, and to last.
