This exquisite sculpture will definitely capture your attention. Solid brass maple leaves are purposely bent and twisted so that no two are exactly alike. The tree trunk is hand hammered to obtain a knarled realistic three dimensional effect. The tree trunk is made of solid copper. This Maple Tree is most realistic when made with copper leaves. Each copper leaf is heated with a torch to bring out brilliant red/burgundy color creating a Japanese Red Maple. You may also order the Maple Tree with oxidized (green) leaves or any combination of choice.
