Commissioned by Kingston Lacy for their Lapland Christmas experience, this arch fills an entire entranceway with British woodland wildlife — each creature individually carved and painted, so that walking through it feels like stepping through the pages of a nature book.
From the tawny owl and watchful fox at eye level to the squirrels and hare higher up the frame, every animal is shaped by hand and placed with intention. Oak leaves, beech, and maple weave between them. The arch was designed to create a moment — that pause before a threshold where a child stops, looks up, and asks a question — and from the photographs of Kingston Lacy, it does exactly that.
Made from sustainably sourced timber with 3D layered carving and painted highlights sealed for outdoor use. Custom text or a name can be carved across the top — this commission reads “Kingston Lacy.” Every arch is made to your own brief. Prices include VAT.
