Crafted from individually sculpted steel oak leaves, the piece forms a perfectly balanced spherical silhouette, symbolizing unity, strength, and the cyclical beauty of nature.

As with all Charles Elliott Sculpture creations, the Oak Leaf Sphere showcases a deep reverence for traditional blacksmithing techniques infused with modern design sensibilities.

One of our most illustrious sculptures; The Oak Sphere Sculpture. The nature just purely captured with in an art form. The method in which these sculptures are created & for that matter even started; is simple old-fashioned pencil to paper, this is where his ideas start to come to life. A sketch will be hand drawn by Charles within his studio, giving the sphere details & design prior to establishing sizes, measurements & dimensions. Once Charles is happy with the design , the “hanging basket” style mold frames will be placed on to the foot plate ready for each hand textured sail piece to be placed.
Each oak leaf is carefully cut out in a selection of sizes before being heated to unimaginable temperatures enabling the team to then hand texture each piece using our special mold & press to stamp in the leaf details one by ones. The fine tuning of each piece is then popped onto the anvil whilst till smoulderingly hot to be shaped as required, the pieces are then ready to be carefully placed around the mold slowly forming the flawless spherical shape intended.
The spheres are created in 2 halves to ensure the perfect spherical shape. The two halves will be lifted off the mould frames & lowered down to be welded & infilled once safely together. Once each piece is in place & the team are happy the sphere is ready for the finishing process. Once entire, the sphere will undergo a sand blasting process to ensure an immaculate end article no matter which finish is chosen.
For all of our spheres we offer the finish of the luxurious oxidised rustic patina, adding that stunning orangey toned finish or another option is our hot zinc galvanise finished, giving not only the longevity due to the process but providing a life long stunning silvery grey effect. We are even able to offer full powder coat colours from the RAL colour chart should you wish to have your own twist on the finishes. With all of the options available above & the option of an array of sizes, patterns & styles make this popular sphere suitable for pretty it makes our spheres a popular choice of pretty much any garden or outdoor space.
