Eternal Orb on Pedestal – 14" Rusty Metal Sphere Sculpture, Garden Art, Outdoor Decor, Handmade Steel Artwork

Eternal Orb on Pedestal is a striking, one-of-a-kind garden sculpture designed to bring elegance, texture, and a sense of timeless beauty to any outdoor space.

Handcrafted from over 500 solid steel washers, each precisely welded by the artist, the sphere forms an intricate lace-like pattern. Every large washer is surrounded by seven smaller ones, creating a harmonious floral geometry that is both natural and architectural.

The sphere measures 14" (36 cm) in diameter and is mounted on a slender steel pedestal with a rounded base, bringing the total height to 26.4" (670 mm). The piece weighs 6 kg, giving it a reassuring stability while still being easy to relocate in your garden or patio.

The sculpture’s construction allows secure installation: the pedestal can be anchored to soil, stone, asphalt, concrete, or wooden surfaces (such as a terrace) using bolts or anchors. The sphere itself screws onto the pedestal via a threaded connection, making it easy to assemble or disassemble. This flexibility means the Eternal Orb on Pedestal can be placed not only in gardens or courtyards but also at a house entrance, driveway, or on columns.

Strong anchoring provides protection against severe weather (wind, storms, even tornadoes) and discourages opportunistic theft. Imagine a pair of these sculptures mounted on stone columns at your property entrance — especially with subtle evening uplighting — creating an unforgettable first impression.
The openwork design allows sunlight to pass through, casting beautiful, ever-changing shadows during the day. At night, the sculpture transforms into a glowing centerpiece when illuminated from within or below with a garden spotlight or LED string lights.

Crafted from naturally weathered rusted steel (3 mm thick), the surface will continue to develop its rich, warm patina over time. Unlike painted finishes, the rusted surface is maintenance-free and blends effortlessly with both modern and rustic surroundings.

Perfect as:

A garden or patio focal point

A decorative accent at an entryway or driveway

A sculptural feature on stone columns

An outdoor art piece for meditation or relaxation spaces

Every Eternal Orb on Pedestal is handmade and signed by the artist, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly the same.
