Product Details
Solid bronze Wire Haired Dachshund sculpture, with free delivery worldwide – limited edition of 250.
Sue Maclaurin’s gorgeous bronze sculpture of a Trotting Wire Haired Dachshund perfectly captures the cheeky and willful character of these characterful dogs as it trots along with its lead, with places obviously to be and people to see.
Following the success of Sue Maclaurin’s Trotting Dachshund sculpture, received many, many requests from collectors to commission a Wire Haired Dachshund in a similar pose. We listened, we did and we are delighted to introduce this new piece to you now.
Hand cast in a British foundry as a limited edition of 250 castings, ‘Trotting Wire Haired Dachshund’ arrives beautifully boxed with an individually numbered and artist signed certificate of authenticity, making an ideal gift for anyone who has ever loved one of these wonderful little dogs.
Whether you have shared your life with many dax’s over the years, or just one doxie that has stolen your heart, Sue Maclaurin’s humourous sculpture is sure to be the perfect reminder of many happy times spent together.
Trotting Wire Haired Dachshund is created using the ancient art of lost wax casting bronze, during which a new mould is made and subsequently destroyed for every casting. This means that each casting is unique and so arrives individually numbered as one of a limited edition of just 250 castings worldwide.
Please note that as with all Nelson & Forbes sculpture, this is NOT made of resin/cold cast bronze. Instead it is made of real, solid, foundry bronze metal.

How We Make Our Sculptures
We use the ancient art of Lost Wax Casting to hand cast your sculpture in solid bronze metal, never resin or ‘cold cast’ bronze. Each time a piece is cast, a new mould is created and then destroyed, ensuring that every sculpture you purchase from us is utterly unique. Each piece is individually numbered by hand, indicating its specific casting number within the edition, and bears the artist’s signature, and our ‘NF’ maker’s mark.
Creation of the Master Mould
A single-use mould is meticulously created from the original artwork. This is the heart of the process—every detail captured here will be perfectly replicated in bronze. Molten wax is then poured into this mould, creating a precise duplicate of the artist’s original sculpture.
The Bronze Pour
The wax model is coated in a ceramic shell and then fired in a kiln, a process that melts and “loses” the wax. This creates a hollow ceramic mould. Molten bronze, heated to an incredible 1200°C/2200°F, is immediately poured into this mould. Once cooled, the ceramic shell is carefully broken away, revealing the raw bronze sculpture inside.
Hand Finishing & Patina
The raw bronze sculpture is expertly hand-finished by our skilled artisans. This final stage is where the sculpture’s character comes to life. Our craftsman applies heat and a chemical patina to the sculpture, creating a unique colour and effect. Finally, a protective wax coating is carefully applied and polished, giving the sculpture a beautiful, lustrous finish.
Authenticity & Numbering
Every piece is numbered by hand, authenticating its place within the limited edition and ensuring your sculpture is truly unique. It also bears our ‘NF’ maker’s mark, and the artist’s signature, a final mark of authenticity and quality.
