Each sculpture is handmade, forged, formed, welded, and assembled individually, ensuring a truly unique work of art. Due to this process, variations in form are expected—branches may differ slightly in length, thickness, or curvature. This artistic interpretation captures the essence of the sculpture rather than producing exact replicas.
Note:
These sculptures may have sharp edges due to the nature of forged and welded metalwork. Patina coloration may also vary naturally over time.
We offer a 30-day delivery policy for our standard birdbaths. Delivery times for custom and one-of-a-kind birdbaths, as well as all other sculptures, will be determined in consultation with the client.

Optional Pedestals & Display Suggestions
For a stunning garden feature, we handcraft custom pedestals tailored to each birdbath size, ensuring stability and aesthetic harmony. These pedestals enhance the sculptural presence of your birdbath, creating a refined focal point in any garden setting.
Alternatively, natural stone offers a versatile and readily available display option. With its infinite variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, stone allows you to create a personalized and harmonious presentation. Incorporating elements such as grasses, shrubs, and plants around the base can further enhance the visual appeal, resulting in a unique and captivating focal point.
