Vintage Austin Productions The Kiss by Rodin Reproduction, Kissing Couple Statue Durastone, Gold Like Finish Romantic Gift Home Decor 1960's
$45.00
This vintage 1960's reproduction of Augustine Rodin's famous 1889 "The Kiss" statue was made in a professonal artist studio. The intertwined lovers fate was never quite decided, whose love was never quite requited, whose lips never quite touched to complete the passionate kiss they started!
This measures appx. 10-1/4 inches tall x appx 7-1/2 inches at its widest. There is a felt pad on the bottom. It looks old, but it is still there. I painted over the old and worn paint and gave it new life in Renaissance Gold artist quality acrylic paint.
It is ready for your own home decor or as a romantic gift!
The casting procedure used by Austin Sculpture is: "The caster puts steel armatures, or supports, into the mold. He then mixes the DURASTONE -- a special formulation of crushed stone -- into a slurry which is then poured slowly into the mold. When filled, the caster then jostles the mold gently to let trapped air escape. The mold then sits undisturbed for over an hour before it can be demolded. The shell is removed, the rubber mold peeled off, leaving a sculpture reproduction with all the detail and texture of the original. It is then cleaned and placed in a heated chamber for up to 48 hours, which brings it to optimum hardness and readies it for its finish or patina."
I will gladly adjust and combine shipping for everything that fits in one box.

*Still doing business the old fashioned way, with price of item separate from shipping. If you buy more than one item I can combine shipping and save you money. I refund any excess shipping back to the buyer.

All vintage items have lived a previous life, which is usually visible. I do my best to describe any significant damage. Check photos closely as that is part of description.
