Morpho on Branch Blue Outdoor Artwork

Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this piece is handcrafted to be significantly more resistant to corrosion and rust than standard iron or steel wall art. However, to preserve the intricate finish and structural integrity, it is designed specifically for covered outdoor spaces, such as a screened-in porch or a deep-set patio, where it is shielded from direct rain and moisture.

For homes in coastal regions or areas with high humidity, salt air and moisture can eventually affect any metal surface. To maintain the striking blue finish and orange accents, we recommend applying a premium car or boat wax (without added cleaners) to the stainless steel prior to hanging. Reapplying this protective wax every 6 to 12 months creates a professional-grade barrier that safeguards the artwork against environmental wear.

Yes, with a vertical orientation and dimensions of 16"w x 14"h, this sculpture is an ideal scale for smaller outdoor living areas like apartment balconies, townhouse courtyards, or narrow entryway walls. Its compact footprint allows you to add a sophisticated, handcrafted focal point to limited wall spaces without overwhelming the area.

To protect the delicate handcrafted surface, avoid using any waxes that contain abrasive cleaners (such as "cleaner/waxes" often used for boats). Based on our expertise with stainless steel finishes, we recommend using only a pure, high-quality wax. This preserves the surface while preventing the "Morpho" butterfly's colors from being damaged by harsh chemical agents.

To ensure the long-term beauty of the "Morpho" design, this piece should not be placed in direct sunlight. Persistent UV exposure can cause the specialized finish to fade or degrade over time. It is best displayed in shaded or covered areas where its sculptural details can be appreciated without the risk of sun damage.
