Description
The Chikuma wall decoration is a branching sprig in metal, its slender stems rising from a single gathered base and spreading out into dozens of small round discs that read like leaves or seed heads. The body is steel in a brass colour, which brings a warm gold tone to a plain wall. It measures 56cm across and 80cm tall, yet sits just 2.2cm deep, so it lies close to the wall and keeps a slim line when seen from the side. It weighs 2.24KG.
Being taller than it is wide, the sprig suits an upright stretch of wall: above a console table or sideboard in a hallway, beside a doorway, or over a chest of drawers in a bedroom. In a living room with pale walls, the brass colour catches light from a nearby lamp or window and gives the room a focal point that is not another framed print. The open design lets the wall colour show through between the branches, so it looks lighter than a solid panel of the same size and sits happily alongside greens, creams and warm woods. We see it as an easy way to dress a bare wall in an indoor room.
Steel gives the branches a firm structure, so the stems hold their shape and the discs stay evenly spread. Each disc sits at the tip of its own fine stem, and the discs vary a little in tone, from pale gold to a deeper antique shade, which gives the surface depth rather than a flat, uniform sheen. Before you hang it, hold it against the wall to judge the spacing, allowing clear wall around it so the branches have room. At 2.24KG, choose a wall fixing that suits your wall and that weight.
