Description
This chrome plated butterfly plaque pairs a polished silver butterfly with a plain round disc, both set on a shiny oval base. The butterfly's open wings are cut through in fine curving lines, edged in bright chrome and dotted with small pink stones, and each side holds a larger faceted pink stone that catches the light as you pass. Slender antennae end in pink tips. Beside the butterfly, the round disc stands upright and is left plain, a clean polished surface that keeps the look simple and lets the pink do the talking. The piece is made of metal with a shiny silver finish and is small, at 5cm tall, 7.5cm wide and 3.5cm deep, so it fits easily in the palm of your hand.
Because it stands on its own base, it needs no wall, no hook and no fixings, and its compact size means it settles in where larger ornaments will not. We like it on a dressing table beside a ring dish, on a bedside table, along a bookshelf or on a desk where a little sparkle lifts the day. The pink and silver sit happily with soft pastel rooms and with cooler greys and whites alike, and the mirror-bright chrome picks up whatever light the room has. It is a pretty small gift that is easy to wrap and easy to find a home for.
The butterfly is raised on a short post above the base, so it seems to hover beside the disc, and the chrome plating gives the whole piece its bright, reflective shine. To keep that shine, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth when needed, drying it straight away; avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch a plated surface. Set it where it catches the morning light and the pink stones will glint across the room.
