French Castle Fountain of the Four Parts of the World Replica
Project Overview
In March 2022, we crafted a fountain combining bronze and marble materials for a French château. This magnificent bronze fountain is a replica of the renowned Observatory Fountain. Upon receiving the fountain in April 2023, the château’s proprietor expressed high acclaim for its quality and craftsmanship, and immediately placed a follow-up order for eight pairs of marble portrait busts.

Subsequently, in August, the client once again commissioned a series of classic European-style sculptures and decorative pieces, including classical marble figure sculptures, garden benches, peacock planters, a stainless steel piano, four bronze angel sculptures, and a green wrought-iron gazebo.

Introduction to the Original Observatory Fountain:
The Observatory Fountain is a magnificent monument situated within the Marco Polo Garden, located on the southern side of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris’s 6th arrondissement. The sculptural elements were created by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. The fountain was installed and unveiled in 1874. It is also known as the “Fountain of the Four Parts of the World,” as the female figures within the composition symbolize the four continents, or simply referred to as the Carpeaux Fountain.

Exquisite Clay Models Created to Scale
YouFine’s clay modeling artists possess an average of 20 years of professional experience. Each artist specializes in a specific domain—some focus exclusively on human figures, while others specialize in animal subjects. Consequently, by collaborating across their respective fields, these artists create lifelike and exquisite clay models for every bronze figure, animal, and celestial sculpture.
Our Artists are Currently Refining the Clay Model of the Horse Statue.
To demonstrate our ability to faithfully reproduce the standard form of a celestial sphere, we first fabricated a stainless steel ring, which then served as the mold for casting a bronze ring; this process exemplifies the rigor and flexibility exercised by our artists throughout the creation.

Factory installation and Water Testing
Upon the completion of each fountain, we perform a full assembly and water test at our factory. This ensures that every sculptural component fits together seamlessly, guaranteeing both the intricate details and the overall aesthetic beauty and sophistication of the finished fountain.
