Balrog Corten Steel Silhouette

This officially licensed silhouette depicts the Balrog from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is designed by Weta Workshop artists Simon Lissaman and Iona Brinch and produced by Metalbird. The piece is an open edition collectible rated for ages 14 to 99.

Corten Steel Patina Properties

The figure is crafted from 3mm Corten steel. The material develops a protective patina that changes colour over time. This natural weathering process protects the steel for years without requiring additional treatment or coating.

Hammer Installation Into Wood

The silhouette installs by tapping it directly into wood using a hammer. No specialised tools, brackets or fasteners are supplied or required. The Corten steel construction is designed to last a lifetime once mounted in a suitable wooden surface.

Questions about this item

Is the 86-98-04649 Balrog Metalbird the only version available?

The 86-98-04649 is the single open-edition model offered; there are no alternate sizes or finishes listed for this silhouette.

What does the 3mm Corten steel mean once the figure is mounted outdoors?

The 3mm Corten steel develops a protective patina that changes colour over time and shields the metal from further corrosion for years.

How does the hammer-tap installation work with the Corten steel construction?

The silhouette is designed to be driven into wood with a hammer; the 3mm Corten steel is thick enough to withstand the impact without bending.
