But there’s still one question that confuses buyers all the time: how much does a bronze statue actually cost? Well, most bronze statues cost anywhere between a few thousand dollars for smaller statues and well over tens of thousands for larger and more intricate statues.
The main reason behind this wide price range is that bronze statues are complex and there are many factors that determine the price of an individual statue.
In this guide, we’ll take a look at some of these factors to help you understand how bronze statues are priced so you can pick your first (or next) bronze statue more confidently.
There are numerous factors that influence the price of a bronze statue. However, for this article, we’ll focus on some of the factors that are most important to a first-time buyer.
As the size of a bronze statue increases so does the time, raw material, and labor required to create it. As a result, larger bronze statues cost more than smaller ones.
Note: Remember that this is more of a rule of thumb rather than an actual rule. Smaller bronze statues can cost more than large statues in various cases, including when they are commissioned or very intricate.
You can easily find small bronze statues and figurines for under $1,000 and even for as low as $500. On the other side of the spectrum, 1:1 bronze statues of animals and life-size human replicas usually cost thousands of dollars, and the average ranges between $4,000 to $10,000. This range increases significantly as the design becomes more complicated. Speaking of which…
If you’ve ever looked at a high-quality bronze statue up close, you know the level of detail that master craftsmen can achieve. If you haven’t, bronze foundries that use traditional casting techniques can replicate even the most complicated designs, such as patterns in clothes and birthmarks.
However, all of this detail comes at a cost. Intricate bronze statues with a lot of detail average between $4,000 and $10,000 and will often cross the $15,000 mark.
Many foundries will often cut corners, especially in ready-made statues in order to bring the final price down. However, this isn’t ideal for the buyer. First-time buyers, in particular, will often have a hard time distinguishing from cheaply made bronze statues due to lack of expert casting knowledge.
The solution? Buy only from reputed foundries. Bronzeman®, for instance, works with some of the oldest and most reputed bronze foundries in the country. We use an ancient casting technique called the “Lost Wax Process” that results in life-like detail and beautiful patinas.
It’s also important to note that well-built bronze statues will last you a lifetime – others won’t.
Some other factors that will also increase the price of a bronze statue including buying directly from a very famous foundry or buying replicas of famous designs.

The next biggest question for bronze statue buyers is whether to commission a new statue or buy ready-made. To commission a statue means to order a bronze statue that’s built from the ground up exactly to your specifications. There is just one major problem with commissioning – it costs a lot more than buying statues in stock.
Commissioning a bronze statue can cost anywhere between $10,000 to over $100,000 depending on your specifications.
The much more popular alternative is to buy ready-made. Bronzeman® offers a large collection of bronze statues and statues consisting of over a thousand meticulously crafted statues at an affordable price.
Bronze statues can be found everywhere on the internet – from general marketplaces like eBay to niche Facebook groups. However, out of the hundred places you can find these statues, there’s only a few you should actually buy them from.
Your best bet would be to find a trusted foundry locally and pick out a statue to your liking in person. But you may be limited in terms of choice of designs and prices this way. Alternatively, you may not have any reputed foundries in your area. In this case, you can take a look at Bronzeman®’s large collection of high-quality bronze statues.
Through this price guide, you should now have a good idea of what you need to pay for the bronze statue you want. But unfortunately, finding a fair price on bronze statues, especially on custom designs is not easy. So how can you ensure you’re getting the best price?
Well, one way is to buy directly from a reputed seller. For instance, Bronzeman® is able to get consumers the best prices by sourcing bronze statues directly from the most reputed foundries.

The Top Golf Course Project begins in October . We had already worked with this client before starting this project. Our first collaboration was helping our client customize a bronze sculpture of his father. His father was very pleased when he received our sculptures and had the idea to commission a batch of sculptures from us to be placed on the golf course. This Top Golf Course is where our client’s father worked when he was young. It is a golf course with stunning scenery and a variety of professional fairways. By the end of January , the 22 life size bronze sculptures for outside decor and 22 small bronze sculptures for inside decor have been finished. And these sculptures have been transported and arrived at the Top Golf Course by the end of January .
Client Requirements :Our client’s primary requirement is for life-sized bronze animal sculptures, intended to adorn the outdoor spaces of the golf course. Additionally, he also requires smaller bronze sculptures, customized bronze reliefs, bronze planters, and other bronze sculptures for indoor areas and other locations around the golf course. Our client also requested that each bronze sculpture be cast with an inscription of the golf course name to prevent the sculpture from being stolen.
Free Clay Model : Through our discussion of the client’s needs, we suggested a range of our top-selling bronze animal sculptures (shown below), which the client enthusiastically approved. Furthermore,YouFine has the clay model of these designs, which could be used for free. This helps our client save the time and budget.
The Community Development Zone Project begins in June . Our customers attach great importance to the quality of large bronze animals. The animals they mainly want are deer, elk, moose, goats, and bear sculptures. The sizes of these animals are based on the size of real animals, each animal is more than 2 meters tall. The customer said that this project was urgent, so we formed a team specifically for this project to serve the customer. During the entire manufacturing process, it only took us 55 days before ship the bronze animal to the customer. Our sales team is very responsible and confirms the progress made by customers every Monday. Every time the customer is confirmed on the same day and communicated in a timely manner, our entire cooperation is very pleasant and efficient. We cast a total of 20 large bronze animal sculptures for our customers.
Restore the Appearance of Real Animals: It is worth mentioning here that the original bronze moose did not have ears. We specially equipped the moose with ears based on the appearance of the real animal, and our ears can be flexibly removed, it all depends on the customer’s needs.
