Description
This hand painted metal hummingbird decoration captures the little bird hovering, wings lifted high and tail fanned out beneath it. Its body and wings are painted in a rainbow of blue, red, orange, yellow, green and pink, the colours running into one another like marbled ink under a glossy finish that gives them real depth. Along each painted wing runs a fringe of twisted silver metal feathers, every strip turned so it catches the light, and the same bright silver sweeps down the throat to a long, fine beak. A small dark eye finishes the face. It measures 36.5cm high, 40cm across and just 2cm deep, a size that gets noticed without crowding a room.
At only 2cm deep it keeps a slim profile, and its colours bring a cheerful lift to a hallway, a landing, a kitchen or a living room that could do with brightening. It sits happily alongside houseplants, botanical prints and natural wood, and it holds its own just as well in a pale scheme as in a richly coloured one. As a new home gift it is a thoughtful choice: a bright, happy piece for someone settling into their first place or moving somewhere new, and something they can enjoy from the day the boxes are unpacked.
The hummingbird is made from metal and painted by hand, so the way the colours meet and blend is part of its character, and the whole piece is finished in gloss for a rich shine. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, working gently along the twisted feather strips rather than across them. For a housewarming, wrap it in tissue with a handwritten card: it is a gift that brings colour into a new home from the very first day.
