“Lulu” the Car Hop made her public debut in February at the Medford Classic Car Show. Accompanied by a beautiful blue Chevy Bel Air Nomad, she was a admired by all who saw her. In fact, some wound up asking her for her number. (Her answer: “I’m not numbered, I’m an ORIGINAL!”)

Introducing the Latest in the Rob Burman Signature Series, The Carhop!

This display figure was named Lulu. Look for her at classic car shows in the Northwestern United States!

Harry – The Duke’s third son.  His chances of ever inheriting his father’s estate are extremely remote, thereby keeping him from ever achieving any social stature.  So, he took the route most easily traveled for a man of “means without stature”. He became the Town Drunk. Toiling day in and day out on his “pub crawls”, he is a happy man in his pursuits, at least until the end of the day when his father’s servants come collect him from a roadside puddle.  If he had an ounce of ambition he could – oh, forget it. It’s never going to happen.

Bronze Limited Edition, Approx. Dimensions: 16 1/2″ x 11 1/2″ x 11″

Gurt – Sophia’s daughter and the wife of the Duke. Her half-Germanic heritage has caused her to be a staunch, opinionated and grumpy woman. On the surface, she has a terrible distain for her “Italian” position. Deep down she is terrified of the possibilities of losing everything that she has. She coddles and suplicates to the Duke to keep her station secure, easily swaying her man to her own way of thinking. Behind his back, though, she is a tyrant to servants and the household staff.

Bronze Limited Edition Approx. Dimensions: 15 1/2″ x 13″ x 13″

The Flyer – A companion piece to the Climber figure. The Flyer is meant to signify our faith and what keeps us aloft.  “Faith” is really what keeps us moving in life; its support is really no more stable than a kite in the wind – but it still keeps us afloat!

Available with the Kite support, to keep the figure standing on the edge of a shelf (as pictured), or the Climber’s “reaching arm” support so the figure can repel down a flat wall space.

Bronze Limited Edition Approx. Dimensions: 8″ x 5″ x 6 1/2″ (Figure)

Francesca – The so-called “wash” woman of the Duke’s household. She also sees to it that the kitchen staff is running smoothly, the supplies are in order and her “man”, Bill, isn’t off napping away an afternoon drunk. Anyone caught shirking their duties has met with her large, wooden spoon. The memories of it still haunt them to this day.

Bronze Limited Edition: Dimensions aprox. 15 1/2″ x 12″ x 9″

Agnes – Sometimes referred to as “The Nanny”,  Agnes is the true head of the household. She maintains order and efficiency now that the Duke’s children are grown.  What once was a babysitting job has evolved into Chief Director. Her mind is lightening fast and her temper – lethal. Her main fault is her vanity. Her youth long since buried, she makes every attempt to hold herself together in the secret hopes that some fine, upstanding (and malleable) gentleman will sweep her away to some far away castle and cater to her every whim.

Bronze, Dimensions Approx.: 15″ x 13″ x 11″

Merlin is a commission for a client in “Merlin, Oregon” (appropriately enough!). The piece stands approximately 8′ tall. It consists of a central “earthen core” pedestal with a platform. On it stands Merlin (approximately 26″ tall), his flowing robes and raised arm demonstrating as he conjures the elements around him. The “elements” swirl on a 3/16″ coiled steel rod that sways in the breeze. Small pieces of debris are raised up in the energy that also sends a small lizard and a hummingbird skyward. In support of the pedestal and seeking shelter against the whirling elements are a raccoon, two squirrels that playfully chase each other, and a bear cub attempting to pull himself up to the platform.

Cast in cold-cast bronze (bonded bronze in resin) and suitable for outdoor placement. Available in multiple configurations, in parts or as a whole.
