CONSERVATION LEADWORK LIMITED

CASE STUDY:  TURK’S HEAD

We were asked to replicate part of a client’s coat of arms for a decorative finial to be mounted on a
building on his estate.

We were given the architect’s drawing of the proposed finial and were asked to reproduce the head as a two dimensional drawing for approval by the client.

The picture above shows one of our carver’s hand drawn sketches for the finial.

Once the client had approved the sketches, the finial was carved in wood, ready for taking the mould to cast in lead.

Once the mould was made, the head was cast in lead.
