The equine sculpture that has the ability to not only recreate a true horse head, but oozes character & captures every visitor, yet it is still subtle if you choose it to be – Our Outstanding Galvanised Horse Head Sculpture by British Sculptor Charles Elliott.
One of our favourite equine sculptures we create; the variety of styles & finishes we have are never ending -they are also available in an array of sizes to suit! Handcrafted piece by piece from mild steel moon pieces, finished in a luxurious zinc galvanised finish to last a lifetime, which we then mount on a black steel plinth with internal Illumination via the muzzle of the horse.
If you’re looking for a quality equine sculpture, then our Charles Elliott Sculpture Horse Head is for you! This particular sculpture captures the full characteristics of these majestic animals. With the most exquisite high-end feel
Equine luxury at its finest; this sculpture is not only a showstopper but it truly oozes character. Transforming stable areas, courtyards, homes, gardens, and driveways, it is a real statement piece for every location. Horses and ponies have played an enormous part in Charles’s family and life, due to his mother’s passion for horses alongside his own, with many years of Pony Club, competing, and travelling alongside some very high-end horses. Charles has been able to study, watch, and learn all the necessary characteristics to create these majestic sculptures, bringing life to each one individually — meaning no two sculptures are the same. The method by which this particular sculpture is created, and indeed even started, is simple old-fashioned pencil to paper — this is where his ideas begin to come to life.
A sketch will be hand-drawn by Charles within his studio, giving the animal movement, character, and life-like qualities prior to establishing sizes, measurements, and dimensions. Once the sketch is complete, it is transferred by Charles onto a very large metal foot plate in the studio using artist’s chalk. The chalk sketch can remain on the floor for up to a week whilst Charles edits, alters, and adapts the drawing until completely satisfied. Once happy, the outline of the sculpture is hand-bent using 10mm flat mild steel bar, ensuring all curves of the outline are correct prior to welding the pieces together to create the mould. The bare outline is then infilled using more flat mild steel bar to create the depth within the horse’s cheekbones, eye structure, and nasal flare.
This is the crucial moment where Charles and the team can identify any imperfections or complications the sculpture may present along the way. Each of the 6mm mild steel moon-shaped pieces are cut out, then piece by piece welded in meticulously as required. Each piece is carefully placed to create the muscle definition, depth, movement, and character of the horse.
This is truly where the sculpture comes to life; it is one of the most magical processes when creating our animalistic sculptures. We follow this method for both sides of the horse’s head, effectively giving us two half horse-head shells — almost lifeless until they are carefully lifted and welded into place. Once this is complete, finer details such as the nose, ears, and even the eyes are handcrafted with round mild steel bar. Some of the oldest blacksmithing methods come into play here — using our 1920s power hammer, forge, and anvil — to enhance the magic within the sculptures. Once all the pieces are carefully placed and the finer details in situ, the horse head sculpture is ready for the finishing process. All horse heads, no matter the final finish, undergo a full sandblasting process to ensure a smooth, immaculate surface.
The beautiful, timeless rustic patina is available, adding a stunning orangey-toned finish. Alternatively, we offer a hot zinc galvanised finish, which not only extends longevity but provides a lifelong stunning silvery-grey effect. We now even offer a hand-painted option in our very popular matte black and gold finish, which gives the horse’s head an extra touch of perfection. The option of an illumination kit is highly recommended with this sculpture. It is discreetly placed within the horse’s muzzle, making it almost invisible during daylight hours but creating a wonderful illumination effect when lit at nightfall. Plinths are available in sizes to suit your needs alongside the “standard” sizes listed above. We are also more than happy to assist should you wish to use alternative materials for the plinth.
