Crested Cranes by Piers Mason(opens in new tab), Powder coated stainless steel, mild steel, brass, copper, and bespoke glass eyes. 180 cm wingspan × 150 cm height, Unique piece
A striking, one-of-a-kind sculpture, Crested Cranes captures the grace and dynamism of two birds in mid flight. The artist sculpted the cranes from a harmonious blend of materials, powder coated stainless steel, mild steel, brass, and copper, balancing strength with delicate craftsmanship. With fluid lines and elegant precision, the birds stretch their wings to a full 180 cm span, freezing a powerful moment of motion in time.
Bespoke glass eyes lend each crane a subtle, lifelike presence, reflecting light and inviting viewers into their quiet, majestic gaze. The combination of industrial metals and hand-finished details brings together the raw beauty of nature and the refined control of engineered form. A soft matte powder coating enhances durability while contrasting beautifully with the warm gleam of brass and copper.
Crested cranes, long symbols of fidelity, elegance, and longevity across many cultures, carry deep symbolic resonance. This sculpture channels that symbolism into a bold visual statement, poised, emotive, and meticulously crafted. Whether suspended or mounted, Crested Cranes(opens in new tab) commands attention, celebrating movement, balance, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.
