Colorful Butterfly Copper Outdoor Artwork

Stainless steel is a premium choice for outdoor decor because of its exceptional durability and inherent resistance to rust and corrosion. This handcrafted butterfly sculpture leverages the strength of stainless steel to ensure that its intricate details and vibrant colors remain a beautiful focal point of your outdoor living space for years to come.

This artwork is specifically engineered for covered outdoor environments, such as a screened-in porch, lanai, or a deeply recessed patio wall. To protect the integrity of the sleek copper and blue finish, the piece should not be subjected to direct exposure to rain, standing water, or constant, direct sunlight, which can impact the longevity of the handcrafted finish.

To preserve the luster of the metal, our expert care recommendations include applying a premium wax—such as a high-quality car or boat wax—to the surface prior to hanging. To maintain this protective barrier, you should reapply the wax every 6 to 12 months. It is critical to use a pure wax and avoid "cleaner/waxes," as the abrasive cleaning agents in those products can damage the decorative surface.

In high-humidity or coastal regions where salt air can be more corrosive, the stainless steel construction provides a strong foundation. However, consistent maintenance is key in these environments. Using a marine-grade boat wax will provide the most robust protection against moisture and airborne minerals, helping to keep the butterfly’s colors vibrant even in challenging coastal conditions.

Yes, this piece is ideally scaled for intimate settings. Measuring 16 inches wide by 13 inches high, it provides a sophisticated touch of nature-inspired art without overwhelming smaller walls. Its horizontal orientation and slim 2-inch depth make it a perfect accent for an apartment balcony or a cozy garden nook where space is at a premium.
