• House renovation with 2 x ridge dragons

  This collection of photos show 2 x ridge dragons installed on the porch and main roof of the house and were sent in by the customer after completing the renovation of their house in Southampton. A smaller scale angled ridge dragon was used for the porch which looks perfectly in scale and proportion and has some excellent detail which can be appreciated from close up. The porch is wooden construction with decorative clover leaf bargeboard and the roof looks like Spanish or Chinese slate with plain terracotta ridge tiles. The dragon is installed so it overlooks from the porch and creates a lovely feature to add decoration

The gargoyle crest head sculpture features the gargoyle clinging to the tile and from ground level peeks down over the tile. The facial features and sculptural features are nicely defined to great a lovely decorative piece for the roof
