Butler and Peach - Miniature Red Squirrel
in Cold Cast Bronze
This charming miniature red squirrel is made
by Butler and Peach in solid bronze using the lost wax method.
This cheeky little squirrel is poised carefully on a branch of a Scots pine that is its favourite woodland, he has his signature bushy
tail up. The adorable little fellow measures 40mm high.
Each minature bronze by Butler and Peach is presented
in an elegant box with pouch and
authentication certificate making it a stunning gift. This minature pug
is perfect for anyone who loves British wildlife, particularly red
squirrels. These bronze pieces are easy to keep clean, just buff with a
soft cloth or brush.
The lost-wax process, also called “cire-perdue” is a
method of metal casting where a molten metal is poured into a mold that
has been created using a wax model. Once the mold is made, the wax model
is melted and drained away. A hollow core can be created by introducing
a heat-proof core that prevents the molten metal from totally filling
the mold. The lost-wax method dates from the 3rd millennium BC and has
changed very little since then.
SagePay
When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
