Decorative metal storks – elegant silhouettes for the garden (2 sizes: 42x12xH77cm and 45x21xH85cm)

The stork is a bird that represents everything at once — grace, longevity, long migrations, and in Europe this universal legend of announced births. Its silhouette is immediately recognizable: long slender neck, imposing red beak, white and black body elongated on long red legs. This decorative metal stork captures it in all its vertical majesty: H95cm — a bird almost life-size, carefully cut from metal, for a garden that deserves a presence that is both elegant and symbolic.

The metal cutting technique gives this stork a lightness and precision that solid sculpture cannot achieve — every detail of the silhouette (the neck stretched forward, the wings neatly folded, the long slender legs) is rendered by cutting and shaping the metal, painted in the natural tones of the species. Its silhouette stands out very effectively against the green vegetation of a garden from several meters away. Weather-resistant and UV-treated, designed for outdoor use all year round.

• H95cm — nearly life-size of the adult stork : an adult white stork measures between 80cm and 1m15 in height. At H95cm, this sculpture is a life-size representation of the species, with all the visual impact that implies in a garden. It is visible from the entrance and from the street.
• Metal cutting technique — lightness and precision : metal cutting allows for silhouette precision and a visual lightness that solid sculpture cannot achieve. The stork seems almost able to take flight — its sharp and fine contours stand out perfectly against the vegetation or the sky.
• The stork — a strong symbol of birth, happiness, and fidelity : throughout Europe, the stork announces births and brings good luck to the home it nests on. In Alsace, it is a regional emblem.

• In the grass of a garden, by the edge of a pond or a body of water: the stork is naturally a bird of wetland areas — rivers, marshes, meadows. Perched by the edge of a pond or in the grass of a large garden, it recreates its natural biotope with remarkable credibility.
• In front of a house to announce a birth: the European tradition of placing a stork in front of the house to announce a birth is still very much alive. At H95cm, this metal stork is visible from the street and announces the event with great elegance.
• At the entrance of a garden or along a path: placed at the entrance of a garden or along a path, the stork welcomes visitors with its natural grace. Two storks facing each other on either side of an entrance create a very classic and strong composition.
• In an Alsatian garden or a regional nature-themed garden: the stork is the emblem of Alsace and several regions of Central Europe. In a regional or rural-themed garden, its presence is a strong and immediately recognized note of cultural identity.
• In composition with the white metal crane: stork (white, European symbolic) + white Cottage crane (zen, contemporary) in the same large garden — two large white birds from very different cultural backgrounds, two very distinct silhouettes, a very rich metal bird collection.
