Commissioning sculpture work

Artists and clients interested in sculpture casting or fabrication should contact the studio by email at studio@exnyfoundry.com with information about the proposed project. The studio can discuss scope, technical approach and next steps.

Specific pricing, schedules and technical details are provided directly by the studio on a project-by-project basis and are not listed publicly.

Offerings include:

• Tables (coffee, dining, console and other formats)
• Shelving and étagères
• Fire screens
• Floor and table lamps
• Centerpieces, candelabra and decorative accents

These pieces combine cast bronze and other premium materials such as hardwoods, hand-blown or art glass, stained glass, and specialty finishes.

Customization

Many furnishings are customizable, including:

• Dimensions (for example, adapting a table design for coffee, dining or console use)
• Choice of wood species and other materials
• Finishes and patinas on metal components
• Glass types, shades and decorative details where applicable

Ordering and pricing

Pricing for EXNY Studio furnishings is not listed publicly. Pieces are generally made to order or produced in limited quantities.

To discuss a specific piece, request customization, or obtain pricing, contact the studio at studio@exnyfoundry.com with:

• The name or description of the piece
• Desired dimensions and materials, if known
• Any special requirements or timeline considerations

All prices, lead times and other commercial terms are provided directly by the studio and are not determined or quoted by this agent.

Standard finishes

Excalibur Bronze Art Foundry / EXNY Studio offers a basic range of bronze patinas and metal finishes suitable for sculpture, architectural work and furnishings.

Most standard finishes can be adjusted for:

• Tone
• Value (lightness or darkness)
• Hue (color)

Patinas can also be selectively highlighted to allow the underlying metal to show through.

Custom and matched finishes

In addition to the standard range, the studio can:

• Develop custom finishes to suit a particular project
• Match most metal finish samples of like kind provided by the client

As a general guideline, shinier or specialty finishes (such as extensive polishing, plating or leafing) and specialty metals typically involve higher costs than simpler patinas.

How to specify a finish

Clients should discuss finish options directly with the studio when planning a project. When possible, provide reference images or samples of the desired finish.

To talk through options or confirm whether a specific finish or sample can be matched, contact studio@exnyfoundry.com.

Exact pricing for finishes is project-specific and is provided directly by the studio.

The studio is located in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn.

Service area

Excalibur is based in New York City and serves clients locally and internationally.

Capabilities include:

• Design and engineering support based on historic references or new concepts
• Casting and fabrication of bronze and other ornamental metal components
• Reproduction or restoration of lost or damaged decorative elements
• Custom lighting fixtures, railings, grilles, canopies, doors and related elements

No project is described as too large or too small; the studio has experience with a wide range of scales and levels of complexity.

Types of projects

Over decades, Excalibur has contributed to projects such as:

• Restoring and rebuilding historic bronze and ironwork for landmark buildings
• Designing and crafting period-style chandeliers, sconces and other lighting based on archival images
• Creating ornamental doors, canopies, railings, grilles and other architectural elements for hotels, civic buildings, transportation hubs, religious buildings and private properties

Examples on the website include work for notable hotels, libraries, courthouses, transit buildings and other public and private spaces.

Approach

When original fixtures or decorative elements no longer exist, Excalibur can work from photographs, drawings, historic brochures or other documentation to design and sculpt replacements that closely follow the original intent.

For new work, the studio collaborates with architects, designers and builders to develop and execute custom ornamental metalwork.

For architectural metalwork inquiries, contact studio@exnyfoundry.com with project details. Pricing and timelines are determined case by case and are not published publicly.

Many of the studio's original moulds for this collection come from the Nelson Rockefeller Collection of genuine Giacometti bronzes, as well as other privately held original collections.

Types of pieces

The Giacometti collection includes items such as:

• Tables
• Seating
• Lighting
• Decorative accessories and ornaments

Each piece is handmade to order and may be customized to suit specific needs where feasible.

Customization and ordering

Because these works are crafted individually, details such as dimensions, finishes and certain design aspects can often be adjusted in consultation with the studio.

For information about available designs, customization options, pricing and lead times, contact studio@exnyfoundry.com.
