If you’re not asking that
question you should be
because the purchase of a
bronze sculpture
can be a significant
investment. It is also a
timeless and nearly
indestructible piece of art
that should be around for many generations
to come. We have seen
all kinds of junk on the
internet being passed off as
bronze sculpture Some
have even claimed to make
things for us. Anyone can
get a hold of pictures and throw up a web
site and make outrageous
claims of quality and
experience, but do
you really know who these
people are or what you are
getting? I can't tell
you what you should do, but
I can tell you what sets us
apart and why you can feel
confident buying from us.
Unlike most online bronze dealers, we are real people who are experts in bronze sculpture
because that's all we do.
We have a real office and studio in Baltimore, Maryland that you can visit should you choose to do so. We have a national reputation for our work and sell some of
the finest sculpture
made today, so protecting our reputation is
important to us.
Our work can be
seen in
museums, public art
displays, as well as
monuments and memorials around the
country. In May 2017, Richard Rist, the owner of the company, was featured in VFW Magazine for his work making
over 500 sculptures for military and veterans monuments and memorials around the United States.
He is also a veteran
himself. So a piece of art from
us actually means something
and contributes to its
lasting value.
And probably most important to you is that we give the type of personal
customer service that you
would expect when making a purchase of this nature. We don't have vast cubicles of customer service representatives who have no idea what they are selling. When you call here you will most likely reach the owner of the company or his assistant, and we can guide you through every step of your purchase and installation. We stand behind everything we sell and if you do have a problem, you will deal with the very same person that took your order.
This level of
service is rare when
shopping on the Internet.
Our expertise in the
bronze sculpture industry is
not just puffery.
The owner,
Richard Rist, is an artist
and a sculpture dealer and
collector for over 25
years. In addition to our
in-house studio, we work
with a network of
independent artists around
the United States.
We’re not a big
business, but this is our
profession. Small, but mighty we like to say.
The Large Art Company is
one of the most respected
art dealers in the country.
Artists and foundries are
eager to work with us, so if
you are looking for
something and don’t see it
on our web site you should
call or drop us an email.
There is a good chance we
can get it and if not we can
make it.
Our prices are
always fair and we stand
behind every sale we make.
About our
competitors, let me just say
this; anyone can get a hold
of a catalog and put up a
web site. We see them come
and go every day. One
company boasted about their quality while importing cheap bronze from Thailand and sporting an "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Many of them have never even seen the sculptures they sell and routinely engage in false and misleading advertising. Most of them remain
anonymous, provide no
physical location and are
only reachable by a PO Box.
Would you really want to purchase a piece of art from a company like that?
Once you purchase a bronze sculpture, one
of the most common questions
you will get is, “where did
you get that?”
Well, we
want you to be proud to
answer, "a bronze company in
Baltimore called The Large
Art Company."
So, if quality and fair
prices are important to you,
you should buy from us. If
one-on-one customer service
from knowledgeable,
experienced professionals is
important to you, you should
buy from us. If the
reputation of the source of
your sculpture is important
to you, you should buy from
us. And if you like to work
with veteran owned
businesses you should buy
from us.
Obviously we want your
business and it is important
to us. But we don’t just
want your business now.
We
want your business in the
future and all your family,
friends and associates. If
there is one thing I know
about my customers it is
that they rarely own just
one piece of bronze art. Every day we get calls from
previous customers to order
again or referrals from
family and friends. That
speaks for itself.
But our
relationship does not end
with a purchase. We
will be here after the sale
as well, to answer any
question you might have
about care and cleaning,
installation, advice about
sculptures from others, or
whatever. We will
never treat you like it is
an imposition. We
have actually held a
conference call on our day
off to advise a community
group on sculpture
installation, at no cost
whatsoever. Moreover,
if, God forbid, you should
ever have a theft or fire,
we are happy to provide you
with duplicate receipts,
certificates of authenticity
or whatever you need to make
a claim with your insurance
company and get full value
for your loss.
I realize
this sounds like a sales
pitch because, well, maybe
it is. But it is also
true. Bronze sculpture
is an investment in a
timeless and nearly
indestructible piece of art
that will be in your family
for many generations to
come. Unless you
are very young, I'm sure you
have learned that the
cheapest is rarely the best
deal.
