Description
This metal robin garden ornament brings a cheerful little visitor to your garden, standing proud on fine black wire legs with looped feet. We love the way the figurine is built up in layers: a warm brown head brushed with lighter streaks, a bright orange breast, a creamy white belly and folded brown wings embossed with rows of feathers. The breast and belly are cut through with a pattern of leaves, so light passes through the openwork and the robin looks almost lacy against a wall or hedge. It stands 23.5cm tall, 20cm wide and 8cm deep.
Set the robin on top of a low wall, at the edge of a border, beside a pot of spring bulbs or on the corner of a patio table where you can catch sight of it from the kitchen window. It stands on its own feet, so there is no stake to push in and nothing to fix; simply place it on a flat, level surface. At just 8cm deep it sits happily on a narrow ledge or a garden step where a larger ornament would crowd the space. If you love watching the birds, it brings a little robin cheer even on the days the real ones stay away.
The body is shaped from metal, with the wings, breast panels and tail feathers fitted on as separate pieces and held with small tabs, which gives the bird real depth from every angle, down to the layered tail. The paintwork is brushed in soft streaks of brown, orange and cream for a natural, feathery look. To keep it at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and let it dry. For a pretty scene, pair it with trailing ivy or a terracotta pot of pansies, or group it with a lantern on the patio step.
