??etal Flower Sculpture, Allium Bouquet Decorative Plants On Wood Base, By The Steel Style Things

Metal & wood sculpture. Bouquet of decorative plants - Allium, chives - designed & manufactured from black iron & stainless steel by The Steel Style Things. This artwork is made entirely by hand. The decorative plants It looks like the allium flower, but with a different stem. The work includes 3 decorative iron & stainless steel balls & a wooden base with metallic decorations. It is always made from a different piece of wood & cannot be exactly reproduced. That is why the sculpture that you are going to receive will not be the same as the one you see in the photos, but it will look quite similar. The set looks very elegant. The metal part is chemically patinated & covered with a thick layer of matte varnish. The old wood, treated against carpenters & reinforced with spectacular plates, brackets, rivets of old rusty iron & stainless steel. Finally, wood is polished with a mixture of carnauba wax & linseed oil. Why metal flowers? One day in May 2015 I made made wrought copper tulip for my wife. She liked it so much, that the single tulip became a series of wrought metal flowers. Some from iron, others of copper, some tinned, others patinated or cut-through for a lacelike effect. Than I started playing with shapes, different methods of welding & blacksmith technics, cutting & patinating chemicals, varnishing. After the first several tulips I made some poppies. Everything is handmade, but I use not only the classical instruments, but also welding machines & plasma cutter. We decided to to share these tender & beautiful, yet unexpectedly rough flowers with you. They will never wither & die, but will bring you an air of antiquity & eternity. My metal flowers could be an unique gift, or arranged in your home, on your patio or yard. They look equally good as singles or in a bouquet, laying on a table/mantle or in a vase/bottle. Some of the flowers are/could be set in stone, piece of wood or brick by drilling a small hole for the stem. Tulips, poppies, doesn't matter what the flower is, could even be used for self defense - they are so solidly made! :) All flowers have matte acrylic varnish, that is unnoticeable & delicate. The poppies are three blooms on a stem like a bouquet, & usually are taller than the tulips. They vary between 33cm(13in) & 45cm(17,7in). Be careful! Although I do my best to smooth all the edges, there is still some roughness, it's tin & wire, after all. Keep in mind, that in spite of the acrylic varnish, the edges of the iron flowers are still able to rust. This is not a defect, but an Effect! Depending on the place you keep them, & the atmospheric conditions your flower could rust more or less. The more moisture - the more rust. etal Flower Sculpture, Allium Bouquet Decorative Plants On Wood Base, By The Steel Style Things
