The Details That Matter
Hand-forged craft, refined finish, proven provenance.
Built to Gallery Standard
Each sculpture is crafted with meticulous detail —some pieces take up to eight weeks to complete.
Ancestral Technique
Formed by master makers with decades of practice, preserving a craft handed down through time. Each piece is singular in detail and finish.
Handled by Our Team
We manage every delivery ourselves; larger works arrive via our own sculpture truck for careful, on-site placement.
Built for British Weather
We stand behind every piece. Each sculpture is sealed with a premium, weather-resistant clear lacquer that preserves the natural metal tone while protecting against rain, frost and UV. Garden or interior, the finish stays refined.
One of a Kind
Each piece is built by hand over days to weeks using traditional African forging techniques passed down through generations. Subtle variations in line, texture and patina mean no two are the same—individually made, never mass-produced.

The Beginning To Something Spectacular
At the skilled hands of our artisans, raw stainless steel is masterfully forged and expertly shaped into the chosen sculpture, forming a sturdy and elegant frame that serves as the foundation for a breathtaking masterpiece.
The Plating Process
With an unwavering commitment to sustainability, our artisans breathe new life into discarded materials such as oil drums, skillfully transforming them into intricate body plates that form the basis of the desired sculpture.
The Welding Process
Once each plate is meticulously formed, our skilled artisans then delicately weld it onto the stainless steel framework, slowly building the sculpture piece by piece with unwavering attention to detail and precision.
The Polishing Process
The next step is to bring out the exquisite details by polishing the sculpture using an array of techniques, starting with the grinding of the material, and then progressing through various stages of polishing to ultimately achieve a flawless finish that truly enhances the beauty of the artwork.
Finishing Touches
In order to both enhance the sculpture's aesthetic appeal and safeguard it from the elements, the last step involves meticulously applying finishing touches and a layer of lacquer to the entire surface of the sculpture.

Yes! They can last a lifetime! However, to maintain the pristine condition of your outdoor sculptures, we recommend re-lacquering them every 12 months. This will protect your sculpture from the weathering effects of the elements and prevent oxidization, which is a natural occurrence that requires regular treatment. As the owner, it is your responsibility to maintain your sculpture, and we offer a convenient solution to do so. You can purchase lacquer on our website. With this simple and effective solution, you can easily perform the necessary maintenance at home and keep your sculpture looking as good as new for years to come.
