Bee Metal Wall Art with Amber Wings 46.1cm - Yellow & Black

This metal bee wall art puts a big, cheerful bumblebee on a bare wall, its yellow and black striped body spread between two pairs of amber wings. The body has a hammered, textured surface that catches the light, with a rounded black head, two large eyes and a pair of fine curved antennae. Slim black legs reach out from beneath the wings, and every wing is traced with delicate black veins, the upper pair outlined in a fine black rim so the shape reads clearly from across the room. It measures 46.1cm across, 29.5cm high and 2.5cm deep.

With 46.1cm of width to fill, it suits a hallway, a landing or the space above a sofa, and the warm yellow brings a sunny note to a kitchen or a conservatory wall. In a child's bedroom it gives a friendly, storybook feel, and in a country-style living room it sits happily alongside botanical prints, painted furniture and jugs of flowers. Because it is only 2.5cm deep, it sits close to the wall and suits narrow passages where a deeper piece would catch a shoulder. Hang it on its own as a single bold feature, or group it with framed pictures for a relaxed wildlife wall.

The whole piece is made from metal, with a glossy yellow and black finish over the hammered texture. On the back, a keyhole slot behind the head lets it hang from a single screw or nail, so it goes up in moments and comes down just as easily when you fancy a change. To keep the colours bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. It makes a cheerful, easy present too, and we like it best hung slightly off centre on a plain wall, where the wings have room to spread.
