Tabletop Steel Thistle Sculpture

This striking Tabletop Steel Thistle Sculpture is a celebration of strength, resilience, and timeless craftsmanship. Standing at approximately 50cm tall, the piece makes a bold yet elegant statement, whether displayed on a console table, sideboard, mantel or desk.

Each sculpture is handmade to order in the Burned by Design workshop, ensuring no two pieces are ever exactly the same. The design features three individual thistles emerging organically from a solid round steel base, symbolising unity, balance, and growth. The stems rise at varying heights from tall, medium and small, creating a natural, flowing composition that draws the eye upward and adds depth from every angle. This piece also casts some fabulous shadows!

The thistle heads are laser cut with precision before being carefully fabricated by hand, allowing for crisp detail while retaining the character and subtle imperfections that only handmade steelwork can offer. Each stem is finished with a distinct thistle leaf, further enhancing the sculpture’s organic form and sculptural presence.

Once assembled, the Tabletop Steel Thistle Sculpture is finished with a clear lacquer, adding a soft lustre that highlights the raw beauty of the steel while protecting the surface. This finish allows the natural tones and textures of the metal to shine through, making the Tabletop Steel Thistle Sculpture equally suited to modern, industrial, rustic, or contemporary interiors.

Designed as a statement art piece and crafted to last a lifetime, this Tabletop Steel Thistle Sculpture makes a meaningful gift or a striking addition to your own space. Handmade, durable, and unapologetically bold, this is functional art with soul, created exclusively by Burned by Design.
