This 9 inch Bronze Sculpture is the perfect graduation gift or commemoration. Its hand made by the world renowned sculpture Jeanne Rynhart in Ireland. All of her commissions are rare and we now believe that we may hold the last few of this particular limited edition.
Jeanne Rynhart is best known for her statue of Molly Malone in Dublin’s Grafton Street, her sculptures of Annie Moore in Cobh and Ellis Island as well as numerous other publicly-commissioned works. After an absence of several years from the market, we can now offer these faithful reproductions of the artist’s works all handmade in County Cork.
We shot the short video above to give you a better idea of the beautiful detail and care taken in making this statue.
Its not often you can get the chance to own a sculpture from a famous artist. Jeanne Rynhart is famous for a number of iconic sculptures in the streets of Dublin, and this lovely bronze sculpture featuring a lady at a wishing well is hand crafted by her and her family in Ireland.
Jeanne Rynhart
Jeanne Rynhart started her business in 1981 and is well known for such iconic public sculpture as Molly Malone, Annie Moore and the Rose of Tralee continues to enjoy success today through expansion and adaptation, plus the fact that the product is 100% hand made in Ireland. In 1994 Audrey Rynhart joined her mother and now she and her husband Les Elliott run the business from their studio in Glengarriff, West Cork, one of Ireland’s most popular holiday destinations.
Bronze Sculpting
Each piece, from the famous Molly Malone statue in Dublin down to smaller bas relief, is individually hand made. When happy with the modelling, a mould is made and production begins in bronze plate (cold cast bronze) or smelt bronze (for gallery work/one off public sculpture and private commissions). Finally the pieces are hand polished and finishing touches added.
A Rynhart Bronze is the perfect gift for any occasion, either to mark an important event or to buy for yourself or for a loved one. In particular what we love about this sculpture is the feature of the genuine looking celtic coins in the wishing well itself.
Its not often you get to actually buy something from a famous artist. Jeanne Rynhart has been hand making bronze sculptures since the 1980s and many of her most iconic statues can be found in Dublin in Ireland, most famous of which is Molly Malone…. A Life sized Bronze Statue that Jeanne made that is now a major tourist attraction.
Molly Malone” (also known as “Cockles and Mussels” or “In Dublin’s Fair City“) is a popular song set in Dublin, Ireland, which has become the unofficial anthem of Dublin.
The Molly Malone statue in Grafton Street was unveiled by then Lord Mayor of Dublin, AldermanBen Briscoe, during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations, when 13 June was declared to be Molly Malone Day. The statue was presented to the city by Jury’s Hotel Group to mark the Millennium.
On 18 July 2014, the statue was relocated to Suffolk Street, in front of the Tourist Information Office, to make way for Luas track-laying work to be completed at the old location. Due to the increase in tourist foot traffic, and a common penchant for being “handsy”, the statue has been groped often enough that the bronze hue has begun to wear off on the bosom.
What we love about all of this is that the smaller limited edition bronze sculptures that are replicas of Molly are also made by Jeanne as well. This makes them uniquely authentic.
The chorus of Mollys song sum this sculpture best
Like a bird I could sing,In the month of the spring,But it’s now no such thing,I’m quite bothered and dead,Och I’ll roar and I’ll groan,My sweet Molly Malone,Till I’m bone of your bone,And asleep in your bed
This Inis The Energy of the Sea Roll On is great way to carry a small amount of their famous perfume with you when you travel abroad and through airport security.
The company has been making this unique fragrance for thirty years from their converted barn in County Wicklow in Ireland. The fragrance is a unisex one and is exclusively made in Ireland too.
County Wicklow is a region south of Dublin in the east of Ireland. It’s known for its namesake mountains, Irish Sea coastline, country estates and the Wicklow Way. The 129km walking trail traverses the county, passing through Wicklow Mountains National Park. Within the park are glacial lakes, rivers and Glendalough, the remains of an early-medieval monastic settlement in a forested valley.
The Inis Energy of the Sea fragrance is crafted to remind you of the local scenic beaches in County Wicklow in Ireland . It is presented in their signature frosted bottle in a more concentrated formula so a little goes a long way with this unisex fragrance.
Inis the Energy of the Sea. The fresh scent of Inis energizes and makes you feel close to the sea – no matter where you are. A sparkling, clean unisex fragrance that captures the coolness, clarity and purity of the ocean, Inis the Energy of the Sea is a favorite around the world.
The range of Inis Energy of the Sea is one of our most popular products here at Celtic Croft. Its really exciting to see a new addition to their range in the form of a NEW Sulfate Free Refreshing Bath and Shower Gel
Its the same fantastic seaside fragrance from the company based in County Wicklow, but this time they have crafted it without sulfates.
Sulfates Can Strip Away Natural Oils. Shampoos formulated with sulfates can remove oil from the hair. If used every day, they could prove to be too harsh, especially for dry hair. When the scalp becomes too dry, it can actually promote the production of too much oil, which often leads to greasy hair.
Formulated with good-for-the-skin seaweed extracts, pure botanical cleansers and naturally moisturising glycerin, this gel cleanses without drying the skin.
Pure and gentle, it refreshes and hydrates as you cleanse – leaving you with an ocean fresh feeling from head to toe. Simply add gel to running water in bath, or apply to a damp sponge in shower for an all-over refreshing lather.
There is something particularly special about scented candles. We think the warm glow of the candle helps waft the magical scent further round your home.
The Inis range from Fragrance and Memories is certainly our best selling line of Irish beauty products. The company is based in County Wicklow in Ireland near the coast in a quaint converted barn. They have be crafting wonderful scents for over thirty years and we and our customers are loyal to their hand crafted and natural product Inis range.
