The Iron Escargot

Bring an unforgettable touch of industrial charm to your home or garden with this delightfully heavy, handcrafted snail sculpture.

Weighing a massive 19kg, this characterful piece features a shell cleverly fabricated from a solid pair of automotive brake drums welded back-to-back, perfectly balanced by a hand-shaped iron scroll body and antennae. Because it is built from dual heavy-gauge vehicle components, it acts as a rock-solid, windproof anchor that won't budge or tip over in high winds—making it the ultimate frost-proof and storm-proof garden companion.

A True One-Off Original:
Because every sculpture I build is driven by the organic shapes and unique histories of the salvaged materials I find, no two pieces will ever be the same. This snail is a completely individual, standalone creation; while I may explore similar concepts in the future, the exact composition, texture, and component layout of this piece will never be replicated. When you purchase this sculpture, you are acquiring a truly unique work of British industrial art.
