Sculpture & Metal Art

Metalwork as Expression

Some of the most compelling work we do at Flaxton Iron sits at the intersection of fabrication and art. Whether it's a large-scale sculptural installation, a heritage piece brought back to life, or a one-of-a-kind commission for a home or public space, we bring the same precision and passion to artistic metalwork as we do to every project.

Our blacksmithing heritage gives us a foundation that few fabricators can match — the ability to work with fire and form metal in ways that are genuinely handcrafted. If you have a concept, an inspiration, or a restoration project, we'd love to hear about it.

Products / Services

Custom Sculptures

We design and fabricate custom metal sculptures, including abstract, figurative, and site-specific pieces. Whether you have a clear concept or just an idea to explore, we can develop and build a sculpture that responds to its environment and creates a strong visual impact.

Heritage Restoration

We carry out heritage restoration of metalwork, including period ironwork, gates, and architectural features. Using traditional techniques alongside modern fabrication methods, we restore original pieces while preserving their character and structural integrity.

Wrought Iron Art

With strong blacksmithing and wrought iron capabilities, we create both traditional and contemporary metal art. From decorative elements to fully realised artistic pieces, this work reflects a level of craftsmanship that can only be achieved through hands-on metal forming.

Bespoke Statement Furniture

We design and fabricate bespoke statement furniture that sits at the intersection of function and art. From sculptural table bases to custom seating and feature pieces, these works are designed to stand out while remaining practical for everyday use.

Feature Walls & Statement Pieces

We create feature walls and large-scale statement pieces designed to define a space. Using texture, form, and material contrast, these installations add depth and character to both residential and commercial interiors.

Public Art & Installation Commissions

Flaxton Iron undertakes public art and large-scale installation commissions, working with councils, developers, architects, and private clients. We have the capability to deliver projects from concept through to fabrication and installation, ensuring each piece is structurally sound and visually compelling.
