Scotland’s angel of the north

Huuuge winged creature reclaimed from a local pub. The base, wings, and body are separate pieces for easy(?!) transportation.

A dramatic monumental sculpture of a winged figure, combining forged and polished metal with a carved wooden base and industrial plinth. The piece features a stylised human torso with outstretched wings, merging mythological symbolism with a raw, modernist style.

The sculpture is mounted on a heavy architectural plinth with metallic and patinated detailing, giving it both scale and presence. It would make a powerful statement in a gallery, public space, or large interior, blending elements of industrial art, surrealism, and symbolic sculpture.

• Style: Brutalist / Industrial / Mythological

• Materials: Forged/polished metal, carved wood, industrial plinth

• Scale: Monumental (see below)

• Condition: Strong sculptural presence, surface patination consistent with materials

A unique and imposing artwork, equally suited to collectors of contemporary sculpture or designers seeking a one-of-a-kind centrepiece.
