Stainless Steel Sculpture

All Bronze Copper Corten Steel Oxidized Steel Slate Stainless Steel Stone

Tough, durable and corrosion resistant, a metal sculpture shaped from stainless steel will last you a lifetime. When polished, the metal reflects the environment around it, whatever the weather. Using these reflective qualities in outdoor spaces is a key feature of David Harber works of art. It has a glistening lightness and a contemporary elegance which will give any sculpture a modern edge.

Stainless steel outdoor sculpture questions

More like contemporary art than traditional outdoor metal sculptures, stainless steel will bring a modern and minimalist feel to an outdoor space. Often used in public art, it works well for abstract sculpture and custom modern sculpture because it’s so tough and offers designers versatility. The high-quality material used, and the craftsmanship of the David Harber team, will ensure you’ll own a stunning stainless-steel sculpture that will last a lifetime.

Stainless steel is the hardest material we work with. It’s tough, durable and corrosion resistant, unlike more traditional bronze sculpture. We use high quality, marine-grade, stainless steel for almost all our sculptures and statement pieces. In harsh environments, when art pieces are located near the sea, for example, we use the extra corrosion resistant duplex grade as extra insurance against the effect of salt water.

Stainless steel art generally doesn’t develop any sort of patina like other metals such as bronze or copper. But it does need regular cleaning to retain its shine and mirror finish. We recommend using warm, clean water and a soft cloth. Stay away from chemical solutions and abrasive material as this will scratch and damage the surface of your stainless-steel statue.

Absolutely. Engraved text in stainless steel will appear crisp, clean and legible for many years.
