Item Details

Just a quick thanks to Dawson Steeplejacks of Hewish for their kind help with information on this item.

This is a wonderful & unusual to see for sale Steeplejacks Lead Owl Embellishment. Hand made in an English Arts & Crafts style. Originally hand cast by David Dawson "Senior" Born May 1934 - Died Oct 2020. These beautiful solid lead embellishments were used decoratively on church roofs in the Devon & Cornwall area. David Dawson was often asked by clients to create bespoke animal embellishments, quite often specifically for a particular building. Height 9 inches. Weight 3.5 kg. Sale includes delivery within the United Kingdom.

This would now look superb mounted on a ridge gable end of a porchway or used on a garden gate, the uses of it are endless. A wonderful item with a rich English history.

To enquire or purchase please use the contact seller tab above. Payments are accepted by bank transfer.

The last two images show David Dawson "Senior" doing what he did best.

Dawson Steeplejacks were established in the late reign of William IV in 1837 & are still going strong today. Ben Dawson now runs the family business.
