Know before you buy
Yes, it is cast in solid foundry iron, which is durable enough for outdoor use. However, because it is iron, you may want to apply a clear coat or sealant if you live in a humid or coastal climate to prevent rust.
The piece is designed for easy installation. While specific hardware is not included, it features mounting points that allow you to secure it directly to a wall or door frame using standard screws appropriate for your surface material.
At 8 pounds, it is substantial but manageable. We recommend using wall anchors or mounting it directly into a stud, especially if you are hanging it on drywall, to ensure it remains securely in place.
If placed outdoors, the iron will naturally develop a patina or surface rust over time, which many find adds to the historical, Victorian aesthetic. If you prefer to keep the original dark finish, you can maintain it with occasional applications of a protective metal wax.
The sculpture measures 24 inches wide, 9 1/2 inches high, and has a depth of 1 inch, making it a low-profile accent that fits well above most standard door frames.
