BORAGO

BORAGO




Retired Percheron Stud

"Pasture Pierre"


This is the long waited loose mane and tail version of my 2019 sculpture "Pierre". He has been completely resculpted to an older verions of himself, enjoying his retirement days in the countryside. He is the same scale as Pierre, just with some extra squishyness. Shoes are off and the old boy can let his feathers grow to full fluff! Even though his days are now mostly spent relaxing and reminiscing, he still prefers to help where he can, especially around the garden and vegetable patch, hence the clean cut tail and shorter parts of his mane.

BORAGO is approximately 1:9 scale (large traditional), measuring 21 cm tall at the withers and 24 cm to the tip of the ear. His overall length is approximately 31cm (from muzzle to the furthest point of the tail). I did not measure his width, but let's just say he has been enjoying the good life ;)

This is an open edition available to the end of this year. He is available through pre-orders only, with a deposit of 100€ required to secure a copy. Molding and casting for EU orders is done by Bee Casted and for the rest of the world by Red Shed Resins. The resin copies will be hollow with wire reinforcements.

Please note that EU orders will start shipping, by estimate, in January 2025, and other orders couple of months after that.

Please make sure you read the terms on this page carefully before making the order.
By placing an order you agree to the terms below.




Prices and Payment Details

Non-EU orders have been listed here with shipping included.

EU price includes all taxes. Shipping varies, but is between 30-35€ for most EU countries. Finland is 14€ and Baltic countries 20€.


PRICES


You can choose the usual deposit + balance type of payment deal, or time payments.

I'm offering the following time payment option:
4 equal monthly payments, each due 30 days apart. Please note that the deposit in this case is not the usual 100€, but 25% of the total value (for 1 or more castings). For orders of multiple castings, a longer payment plan is available. Please require about a longer payment plan.



Shipping

Shipping costs have been calculated into the non-EU prices.

Shipping within EU is usually between 30-35€. Shipping to Baltic countries is 20€ and shipping within Finland is 14€. These shipping fees are for 1 copy. For orders of more than one copy, I will combine shipping and let you know the exact price before invoicing.

Orders from EU countries are shipped from Finland so there won't be additional customs fees/taxes to the customer. All non-EU orders are shipped directly from the caster in USA.

This sale is a so called pre-order sale. This means that we don't have stock available for shipping right away. I'm accepting orders to the end of Decemeber 2024, and orders will start shipping out only after this date. By estimate, EU-orders will start shipping out in January. US and international orders will start shipping out in March/April 2025 the earliest.
