Bring a touch of whimsical, rustic charm to your home, office, or garden with this hand-forged metal snail. Crafted with care at Shieling Forge, this sculpture captures the slow, steady spirit of the garden snail through the timeless art of traditional blacksmithing.
Each snail is individually heated, hammered, and shaped on the anvil, meaning no two are exactly alike. The heavy, tightly coiled shell features authentic hammer marks and a rich, textured surface that highlights the raw beauty of the forged metal. The carefully drawn-out antennae give the piece a lifelike, inquisitive character that looks right at home resting on a bookshelf, a desk, or nestled among your potted plants.
Key Features:
Artisan Craftsmanship: 100% hand-forged using traditional blacksmithing techniques.
Unique Character: Authentic hammer marks and a beautifully rolled shell give this piece distinct, rustic textures.
Versatile Décor: Heavy enough to serve as a small paperweight, yet elegant enough to be a standalone conversational art piece.
Durable Finish: Treated with a traditional protective finish to preserve the metal's natural patina and help guard against wear.
Specifications:
Material: Forged Steel / Iron with a Beeswax finish sourced from a local supplier
Dimensions: 110mm L x 50mm W x 60mm H
Weight: 220g
Note: Because every snail is handmade at the forge, slight variations in size, shape, and finish are natural and add to the unique character of your individual piece.
