Mandith II Brown Indoor/Outdoor Wall Art

To preserve the "vibrant shades" of this handmade piece, our care guides suggest regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use a mixture of mild soap and warm water applied with a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel or damage the specialized coloring applied to the metal.

While this sculpture is designed for indoor/outdoor use, we recommend limiting direct exposure to the elements to maintain its artistic integrity. Placing the art in a covered environment, such as a porch, veranda, or lanai, will help protect the vibrant, handmade finish from UV-induced fading and prevent water spots from developing on the stainless steel surface.

This wall sculpture is handmade from stainless steel, a material highly regarded for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to rust. Unlike standard iron or untreated steel, stainless steel contains chromium, which forms a protective layer to prevent oxidation. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor environments where moisture is present.

Measuring 39 inches in height, this vertical piece makes a significant visual impact. For secure installation on masonry surfaces like brick or stucco, we recommend using stainless steel screws paired with appropriate wall anchors (such as expansion or sleeve anchors). This ensures the art remains stable during windy conditions. Always ensure your mounting hardware is rated for the weight of the sculpture and the specific density of your exterior wall.

This piece is an excellent solution for small outdoor spaces due to its slim 9-inch width. Its vertical orientation allows you to add a sophisticated focal point to narrow areas—such as a balcony pillar or the space between sliding doors—without consuming valuable floor space. The nature-inspired subject of dragonflies and butterflies on cattail stalks provides a peaceful, organic feel that complements vertical gardens or potted arrangements.

Yes, stainless steel is one of the most resilient materials for coastal living, as it stands up better to salt-induced corrosion than most other metals. To ensure it remains in pristine condition in high-salt environments, we suggest occasionally rinsing the piece with fresh water and mild soap to remove salt deposits, as recommended in our general outdoor care expertise.
