A tabletop reproduction of Auguste Rodin's The Kiss, cast in polystone with a hand-applied bronze finish. Two figures lean into an unguarded embrace atop a rough-hewn rock, drawn from the doomed lovers of Dante's Inferno. Set it on a shelf, desk, or nightstand as a study in intimacy, or give it as a wedding or anniversary gift.

Details

Design: Two intertwined figures caught mid-kiss atop a rough-hewn rock, rendered in a rich bronze-tone finish
Size: 4.5" high x 2.5" wide x 3" deep; approximately 0.5 lbs
Material: Polystone with a hand-applied bronze finish
Care: Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the finish
Note: As a hand-finished reproduction, each piece may show slight, natural variations in patina and surface texture
Origin: Museum reproduction after the original at the Rodin Museum, Paris, 1888–1889

Meaning & Intention

The Kiss began as a fragment of Rodin's Gates of Hell, depicting Paolo and Francesca — lovers from Dante's Inferno swept into passion as they read the tale of Lancelot and Guinevere together.

Rodin freed the couple from that darker composition, letting their embrace stand alone as something closer to grace than sin.

What endures is its honesty about desire: the figures are caught not in a posed kiss but in the unguarded instant just before or after one, bodies still finding each other.

Held on a shelf or nightstand, the piece holds a tension between rootedness and yearning — an invitation to notice touch, attention, and the people you choose to hold close.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Love, connection, passion, gratitude

Chakra connection: Heart chakra (Anahata)

Ideal for: Art lovers, romantics, and anyone who wants a tactile symbol of deep connection at home

Suggested mantra: I love without reservation

Symbol: The embrace as a study in intimacy and presence

Questions & Guidance

Is this cast in real bronze?

No. It is cast in polystone, a dense resin-based material, then hand-finished with a bronze-tone patina that mimics the look of cast bronze at a fraction of the weight.

Where does the pose come from?

Rodin first sculpted the pair for his Gates of Hell, then removed them to stand alone. The original is held at the Rodin Museum in Paris, dated 1888–1889.

Would it work as a wedding or anniversary gift?

Yes. Its tabletop scale suits a nightstand or shelf in a shared home, and its subject — two figures mid-embrace — reads clearly as a mark of love and lasting connection.

Can I display it outdoors?

No. It is made for indoor display. Moisture and direct sunlight will dull the bronze-tone finish over time.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.

Unique and very dainty
