Life Size & Large Statues

Scale is not a variation on a sculpture, it is a different thing entirely. Below life size you are looking at an object; at life size and above you are sharing a space with a presence. That change happens somewhere around 160cm, and everything in this collection is on the far side of it, with nearly nine in ten pieces standing above that mark.

What is possible at this scale depends entirely on material. Fibreglass makes up half the range because it is the only way to build very large forms light enough to move and mount, which is why the biggest contemporary and abstract works are made in it. Cast bronze accounts for most of the rest and is the choice where the piece has to stand outdoors permanently or carry its weight through a small contact point, as a rearing horse does. Stone and marble hold the classical work.

Animals and figures dominate, as they do at every scale, but the subjects that work best large are not the same ones that work small. Life-size horses, elephants, bears and big cats, standing and seated figures, angels, and large abstract forms are the strongest sellers. Browse them in animal sculptures and statues, bronze sculptures and garden statues.

Practicalities matter more here than anywhere else in the range. Consider access before you consider the piece: doorways, gates, turning circles and whether a vehicle can reach the position. Anything at this scale wants a level pad or a proper plinth. Roughly half the collection is rated for outdoor display and half for interiors, and each product page states which. For the indoor pieces see indoor sculptures and statues.

Every large statue we make is handcrafted to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios.
