Planished and polished aluminium allium. Introduced in 2019. This hand planished and polished allium, based on the variation “christophi” is intended for indoor or outdoor use. It can be placed in the ground for instant impact. Each petal set is hand planished, formed and polished. It takes 23 different operations, with a staggering 333 steps in total to hand make this striking piece. (medium…even more steps for the large!).
Keeps its shine for ages and can be polished if desired. No additional protection required as it will weather well even if kept outside.
Three sizes now available.
For large, medium or group of 3: After extensive research into postal options and packaging (up to £300 quoted for P&P), the best options are availability for collection from LE65, collection from a show (see events page) or arrangements for me to deliver at £2/mile.

My son had seen a similar product at a garden centre, but I knew we could support a local business during lockdown and I decided to order it from Aluminiumart. I collected it from Matthew on the walk to my son’s and we were both delighted with the alium. It still has pride of place in his largest flower bed, is still shiny and his family enjoy looking at it every day through the windows at the back of the house. Excellent quality and I would definitely recommend.

The 3 aliums I purchased a few years ago look beautiful in my front garden and get so many compliments. The 3 poppies in my back garden are equally beautiful. Such lovely ornaments in my flower beds. Highly recommend as will last forever.
