(to commission a different peacock sculpture please get in touch) 

Inspiration: I wanted to make a "showpiece" for the exhibition, and heard about the "peacock and the dragon" design when I toured the house. Then talking to one of the gardeners I heard that they had had a visiting peacock family (baby peacocks! there are photos on the official Standen instagram page).
