Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and finished with a protective gloss varnish. However, to maintain the finish and prevent potential weathering over time, we recommend applying a clear coat spray annually if you live in an area with harsh climates or high humidity.
The sculpture is lightweight enough to be hung using a simple nail or hook. Because it is made from recycled steel, you can easily secure it to a fence, exterior wall, or indoor surface by placing the hardware through the openwork design of the metal.
Because each butterfly is handcrafted from recycled steel drums, there will be slight variations in the metal texture and color application. These unique characteristics are part of the folk art process and ensure that your specific piece is one-of-a-kind.
The sculpture is crafted from recycled steel oil drums, which provides a sturdy yet manageable weight. It is substantial enough to withstand light breezes outdoors but light enough to be easily repositioned or moved between indoor and outdoor spaces.
This certification ensures that the Haitian artisans who handcraft these pieces are paid fair wages and work in safe, healthy conditions. By purchasing this item, you are directly supporting sustainable livelihoods and the preservation of traditional Haitian metalwork.
