The Barn Owl Sculpture

The Barn Owl sculpture perfectly captures the character and spirit of this beautiful bird. With its heart-shaped face, buff back with strong wings and pure white underparts, the barn owl is a distinctive and much-loved countryside bird. Widely distributed across the UK, this bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected the use of pesticides in the 1950s and ’60s.

Barn Owls are nocturnal birds of prey, hunting and catching small mammals such as field voles. They have some extraordinary specially adapted characteristics to help them hunt for food at night, such as incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to see movement with very little light.

The Barn Owl Edge SCulpture perfectly captures the colours and striking look of the owl and will be a treasured possession for any wildlife enthusiast.

How Edge Sculptures are made

Antiques and collectables of the future thoughtfully sculpted with an emphasis on aesthetic design moulded with the mind’s eye. The original piece is moulded and given life from clay that is then expertly encapsulated in rubber to produce the parent mould.

The pieces are then cast from a durable composite granite and are vacuum sealed with a bleed as to remove compromising air bubbles from the structure. The curative period is then initiated and sustained until the structure is aptly hardened.

The piece is then meticulously examined and fettled as to outline the depth of detail and heighten the sculptures natural form. For finishing it is then passionately coloured, shaded and detailed by our expert artists; completing the creation of a masterpiece. See the video below for more details on this stunning sculpture.
