Freestanding Rusted Steel Quail Family Sculpture Set

A quail family — father, mother, and two chicks — cut from steel as four freestanding sculptures, each on its own base, and finished with natural rust. Arrange the family however you like.

Set Size

Each order includes a complete set of four freestanding quail: one father, one mother, and two smaller chicks. The listed size refers to the height of the largest adult quail; the other three birds are scaled proportionally. Available in three proportional set sizes: 8", 16", and 24". The birds are not permanently connected, so they can be arranged in a close grouping or spread throughout a garden.

Material / Construction

Each bird is cut from steel, cleaned, naturally rusted, and welded to its own base, finished by hand. Every piece develops its own variation in rust coloration and texture.

Finish Options

Natural Rust — Unsealed: cut, cleaned, and naturally rusted, then left unsealed so the surface continues to weather and deepen over time.

Protective Clear Coat: a durable semi-gloss clear coat that deepens the rust tone while helping preserve the finish, suitable indoors or out.

Premium Outdoor Clear Coat: our most durable option — an automotive-grade glossy clear coat built for pieces facing prolonged outdoor exposure.

Where It Works

Small patios, garden borders, shelves and ledges, compact desert gardens, and tabletop or low-wall displays.

Display / Mounting

This is a freestanding sculpture set and does not require wall mounting.

Made in Tucson

Every piece is cut, cleaned, naturally rusted, and finished by hand in our Tucson, Arizona shop.

Custom Work

We welcome custom requests — different sizes, finishes, or related Southwestern designs. Large-scale residential, commercial, hospitality, and architectural commissions are also welcome. Please reach out before ordering to discuss what's possible.

Important Notes

- Each piece is individually made, so rust coloration and surface pattern will vary.
- Unsealed steel will continue to weather and may produce rust runoff when exposed to rain or irrigation, which can stain nearby surfaces.
- Even sealed steel may eventually develop rust if the coating is scratched, damaged, or subjected to prolonged exterior exposure.
- Clear-coated pieces may appear slightly darker and richer than unsealed rust.
- Production time may vary depending on size, selected finish, fabrication schedule, rust development, and clear coating.
- Colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings.
