The Shire sign silhouette

This Corten Steel silhouette recreates Bilbo Baggins' No Admittance Except on Party Business sign from The Shire. Designed by Weta Workshop concept artists Simon Lissaman and Iona Brinch and made by Metalbird, it brings a piece of Middle-earth to any prominent wooden surface. The 3mm Corten Steel construction ensures the piece withstands outdoor exposure year after year.

For Tolkien fans with outdoor space

Collectors who want a durable, weathering steel artwork for a garden, fence or tree will appreciate the evolving patina. Buyers looking for a painted finish, an indoor-only figurine or a limited-edition collectible with a certificate should look at something else. The open edition status means it is not individually numbered or boxed as a premium collectible.

Simple hammer installation

The silhouette installs by tapping the integrated spike into a tree, post or wooden surface with a hammer; no brackets, screws or tools beyond a hammer are required. Corten Steel develops a protective patina within weeks, sealing the material for decades. The only common issue is choosing a mounting surface too hard or thick for the spike to penetrate cleanly.

Questions about this item

What type of wooden surface is needed to install the Corten Steel silhouette?

The figure installs by tapping it into a tree, post, or wooden surface with a hammer; no specific wood type is required beyond a surface that accepts a nail.

Will the developing patina on the Corten Steel affect the clarity of the No Admittance sign design?

The patina forms an even colouring that darkens over years and seals the steel, preserving the silhouette shape created by Simon Lissaman and Iona Brinch.

How can I confirm the Metalbird figure is securely mounted after tapping it in?

The piece is secure when the 3mm Corten Steel silhouette sits flush against the wood and does not move when gently nudged by hand.
