The concept of triumphant arches is as old as recorded history, a tradition revived by the Royal Windsor Rose and Horticultural Society for their patron, Her Majesty The Queen.

The contemporary coronation arch has been designed by RHS gold-medal-winning John Warland and built by master willow artist Spencer Jenkins, both members of the young British cohort of horticulturalists making their impact on the gardening scene. Spencer Jenkins` willow sculptures have previously been sold at Sotheby`s.

Artist Comment

The coronation arch was opened in September by Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle Air Marshal Ian Macfadyen OBE and has had great support from gardening-guru Alan Titchmarsh and Hollywood actress Anna Friel who is involved with the Society. Please see here for ITV News coverage: http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/story/2013-09-19/willow-arches-as-gift-to-the-queen/ At the end of the installation in mid-October, all various elements of the exhibition will be sold off for charity, the Coronation Legacy Fund, a bursary set up to put a young deserving, local person through horticultural college every year for the next 60 years.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
