Large Sitting Hare Sculpture With A Bronze And Grey Finish
£335.00
A Large sitting Hare Sculpture for your home or garden, with a bronze finish and a grey patina.
Say hello to the ‘Iced Bronze’ Harriet Hare … She is a rather special and intricately detailed animal sculpture which has been entirely handmade in the far north of England by Sculptor Kirsty Armstrong.
Please note; This strict limited edition is drawing to a close with most pieces already sold, and the remaining pieces are hand made to order. Currently, there is a processing time of 3-5 WEEKS from order to dispatch for any new orders from November 2024. Please note that this is the last available remaining piece in this finish from the whole edition.
At 16” (40cm) to her tallest ear, this almost life-size Hare ornament has been created in cast resin with a metal-rich bronze lacquer, grey paint and bronze metallic wax finish. She is suitable for both inside the home or out in the garden.*
Harriet reflects the ancient connection between the Hare and the Moon and represents new beginnings and good fortune, making her an ideal hand fasting, wedding or anniversary gift.

Harriet Hare would certainly create a unique focal point in any room or garden. She is a figurative representation of the much loved brown hare, which is native to the British countryside as well as being an ancient Pagan symbol (representing new beginnings, growth, abundance, fertility, rebirth and good fortune!).
The original Harriet was hand sculpted in wax using traditional sculpting methods by Kirsty Armstrong who has been a sculptor for more than 30 years. Harriet is anatomically correct with Kirsty’s unique stylised fur detail applied over the top. She is being produced as a limited edition of 150 pieces in a choice of finishes;
- ’Iced Bronze’ Harriet (this listing)
- ‘Blue-Moon’ Harriet
- ‘Verdigris’ Harriet, in a metal-rich bronze lacquer over cast resin with a verdigris patina (resembles weathered bronze)
- ‘Rusty’ Harriet, in cold-cast iron (metal and resin) with highlights in ‘copper’ and ‘gold’ metallic waxes.
- Moon-lit’ Harriet, in cold-cast pewter (metal and resin) with a silver nitrate effect patina (resembles old silver).
All versions of Harriet have enamelled eyes (which are protected with yacht varnish if required for outside use).
Kirsty uses a moulding and casting company just 30 miles from her studio to produce Harriet, and she then begins the process of bringing her to life once the casts are collected. She applies the metal-rich lacquer and the patina and waxes by hand, and packs each piece in its own individual container before shipping…
Harriet’s vital statistics…
- Harriet is 16” (40cm) to her tallest ear, making her almost life size
- She weighs approximately 6kg, and her packed parcel weight is a hefty 8kg
- Harriet is a strict limited edition of 150 pieces made up in a choice of different finishes (just 15 pieces remaining as of the beginning of 2024).
All variations are suitable for both inside and out, however, for her to go outside she must be sealed and will require a coat of lacquer to protect the finish from the weather. Please just tick the option box.
In this listing only ‘Iced bronze’ Harriet is available. Please see the other listings for the different finishes.
From each sale of Harriet Kirsty donates a percentage to the Hare Preservation Trust which helps protect Hares and to educate the public.
How long will my Harriet take to make?…
Harriet is cast in small batches and entirely made by hand. As there are usually others orders already in the queue the processing time varies. Currently (from November 2024) the processing time from ordering to dispatch is 4 to 6 weeks. Kirsty will keep you updated along your Harriet’s journey, and she may well be ready sooner rather than later!
