Medusa Gold Stainless Steel Wall Art - 155x55cm

The Medusa is a 155x55cm wall sculpture built from interwoven loops of stainless steel, each ribbon shaped into an open geometric curve and finished with a high-shine golden plating. The overlapping forms create depth through layered shadows and reflections, with the polished surface catching ambient and directional light throughout the day. At 25cm projection from the wall, the piece reads as three-dimensional sculpture rather than flat décor.

Designed for horizontal installation above sofas, console tables and bed headboards, the Medusa suits statement walls in living rooms, entrance halls and master bedrooms where the 155cm width can balance a 2-3 seater sofa or king-size bed. The sculpture can also be mounted vertically in narrower spaces such as hallways or alongside tall mirrors. At 3.4kg the piece requires secure wall fixings — two wall plugs and screws into solid masonry or battens for plasterboard — but does not need structural reinforcement.

The golden plating is applied to stainless steel substrate, giving the finish durability against tarnishing and humidity compared to brass or gold-leaf alternatives. The mirror-polished surface reflects warm tones from nearby lamps and daylight, intensifying in late afternoon sun and softening under evening downlights. The interwoven ribbon geometry pairs with mid-century, contemporary and Art Deco interiors, and works alongside other warm metallics including brass light fittings, gold-framed mirrors and copper accents.

Product Specification Sheet

How is the Medusa mounted to the wall?

The sculpture includes rear mounting brackets that hook onto wall-mounted fixings. For solid masonry walls, use two wall plugs and screws into brick or blockwork. For plasterboard walls, fix into timber battens or use heavy-duty plasterboard anchors rated for at least 5kg each to account for the 3.4kg weight plus fixture load.

Can it be hung vertically instead of horizontally?

Yes. The sculpture can be rotated 90 degrees and mounted vertically, which suits narrower wall spaces such as hallways or beside tall mirrors. The mounting brackets accommodate both orientations.

Does the golden finish tarnish over time?

The golden plating is applied to stainless steel, which resists tarnishing and corrosion better than brass or gold leaf. In high-humidity environments such as bathrooms or coastal locations, occasional wiping with a dry microfibre cloth maintains the shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal polishes that can scratch the plated surface.
