From the quiet countryside of the Chiltern Hills, Charles Elliott Sculpture has become an international name in large-scale public art and sculpture commissions.
What began as a small rural studio now creates monumental bronze and steel works for property developers, architects, councils, and landscape designers across the UK, USA, and beyond.
Every sculpture is designed by British artist Charles Elliott, then handmade by his small team of craftsmen using traditional forging and fabrication techniques — blending heritage, engineering, and fine art.
From Concept to Landmark
Public art plays a crucial role in shaping identity and sense of place within new developments, cities, and public spaces. Each of Charles’s projects begins with a concept rooted in the local story — nature, history, or movement — and evolves into a sculpture that becomes part of the environment.
“We design with purpose,” Charles explains. “Whether it’s for a housing development, park, or coastal site, the sculpture has to feel connected to its surroundings. It should stand out — but also belong.”
His team handles everything from the early design and 3D modelling through to fabrication, transport, and installation — working closely with architects, planners, and landscape designers to deliver sculptures that are both visually striking and structurally sound.
Collaborating with Developers and Architects
Charles Elliott Sculpture regularly partners with property developers, architects, and local authorities to deliver bespoke public artworks that meet planning and design criteria while adding real visual value.
Projects often mark entrances to residential developments, business parks, roundabouts, and community green spaces, with budgets ranging from small-scale commissions to multi-metre landmark installations.
“We’ve created sculptures over seven metres high for councils and developers,” says Charles. “These are built to last, designed to inspire, and engineered to withstand generations of weather and change.”
From bronze wildlife sculptures to large abstract forms in stainless steel, each piece reflects the client’s vision and the character of the site — with a finish and quality that sets the studio apart.
Engineering Meets Art
Behind every sculpture lies a deep understanding of materials and structure. Working in bronze, Corten, stainless steel, and mild steel, Charles and his craftsmen combine artistic skill with technical precision.
Sculptures are modelled to comply with wind-loading and foundation standards, and are delivered with full structural support where required.
“We treat every public art commission like a piece of architecture,” Charles says. “It has to be beautiful, but it also has to last.”
This blend of creativity and engineering has made Charles Elliott Sculpture a trusted name among architects and developers looking for statement pieces that define their projects and draw attention for years to come.
British Craftsmanship, Global Impact
Though based in rural England, the studio’s work now appears across Europe, the USA, Asia, and Australia. From a single artist’s vision to an international brand, Charles Elliott Sculpture has proven that world-class craftsmanship can thrive outside the city.
“It’s humbling,” Charles reflects. “To have large corporations and developers reaching out to our little studio for landmark commissions around the world — it shows that handmade British sculpture still matters.”
