Metal Animal Sculptures
Steel animals are the oldest sculpture category in our workshop, and we have made hundreds of them: herons and eagles, owls and swans, deer, roe deer and wild boar, a peacock in steel, copper and glass, and even a cobra and a crocodile. Each one is built from hundreds of hand-forged parts, feather by feather and scale by scale.
Our metal animal sculptures
Some are waiting in our gallery ready to ship; any animal, in any size and pose, can be made to order, from a cricket to an elephant or a dinosaur.
Life-size animals for gardens and ironwork
Most of our animals are life-size and are made for outdoor display: in gardens, parks, hotel grounds and galleries. They are hot-dip galvanized as standard, or finished with traditional blacksmith oxides when a client prefers a raw look, so they cope with rain and frost year after year.
Many of our animals live inside other ironwork: deer and wolves in our sculpted gates and fences, herons and eagles in sculpted railings. These pieces are especially loved by owners of timber homes, hunters and nature lovers.
Iron animal sculptures in every pose
We have made a huge number of steel animals over the years, and our most frequent guests in the forge are animals of European forests and fields, roe deer, bears, herons, eagles, red deer and foxes, alongside exotic species such as lions, jaguars and crocodiles. We make them in all kinds of poses, depending on the role the animal will play, and every steel animal sculpture is made only by master metal artists with many years of experience, because even the simplest figure requires knowledge gathered over a long career at the anvil.
Besides animals as they appear in nature, we also make modern sculptures in which animals take geometric forms, like our modern steel horse. They suit modern architecture and can decorate contemporary houses and whole residential developments.
Where life-size steel animals look best
Life-size steel animals look best where you might really meet them. We place herons beside a pond or stream, red deer, roe deer and wild boar in woodland gardens and along paths, and eagles on walls, steps and pedestals by the entrance. Figures can be combined into scenes, such as a roebuck with a doe or a wild boar with a piglet. Every animal is protected against the weather, usually by hot-dip galvanizing or, if you prefer a raw look, with traditional blacksmith oxides, so it can stay in the garden all year.
