Purchasing direct from the indigenous artisans provides competitively-priced, hand-crafted African wildlife art from genuine sources. We specialise in different types of garden sculptures offering excellent quality and value. Many designs are available to add beauty and grace to any garden, landscape or interior design setting.
Typical styles include local African birds such as Stilts, Herons and Flamingos, in addition to the ever popular English Ducks and Pheasants. We supply our metal sculptures to numerous outlets including garden centres, landscape design companies, craft and garden shows, but equally our merchandise is proving very popular at small retail outlets and is available direct to the public.
About the Artwork
Our Bird art is mostly made from recycled steel. The steel is cleaned to remove it's outer covering and any inner residue. Hand tools are then used to cut and form each sheet into a convenient size. Each design is set out onto the metal before the component parts are cut out.
The parts are beaten into shape before being welded into position to develop the desired structure, some of the feathers are cut and lifted up and away from the body to form a more life-like appearance to each piece. In some instances additional texture is added during the welding process to further enhance the visual appeal. The thin legs and necks are made from metal rebar.
Once the excess metal and welding marks are removed, the birds are allowed to develop a natural patina, this is then locked in by double-dipping in a bath or painted with two protective coats of polyurethane varnish to create an exquisite work of art.
All of our animal sculptures are hand-crafted and it is the nature of the product that there may be some variation in colour, texture and finish, as well as slight irregularities. These are not considered faults and may indeed add to their character and overall appeal. Natural steel products may rust over time, although this will not affect their function.
