This forged copper and steel obelisk is one of four commissioned for a very special garden in deepest Cheshire. Their
contemporary design reflects a previously commissioned garden gate and railings.
During the summer months the surrounding plants should grow around and entwine the obelisk. However, in winter when the plants have died back, the obelisks will be a sculptural feature in the garden.
The copper and steel detailing on display throughout the obelisk was made by hand forging the metals to shape when hot. The steel was galvanised for rust proofing then painted with a lightly textured graphite paint finish. Over the years the copper should patinate and develop a blue-green verdigris.
The owner also commissioned this copper iris as a water feature for the garden
