Round Cockerel Metal Wall Art with Hanging Loop 60cm - Black

This round metal wall art brings a proud farmyard cockerel to any room, cut out in fine, lively detail. The bird stands in profile inside a slim circular ring, head raised as if crowing, with his ruffled neck feathers, the long sweep of his tail and his scaly legs and claws all drawn in cut-away lines. Because the spaces are open, the wall behind shows through and becomes part of the picture. It measures 60cm across and 60cm high, and just 1cm deep, so it sits close to the wall like a drawing without a frame. In black it reads as a crisp silhouette against pale walls and as a quieter, textured piece on darker paintwork.

We think it looks most at home in a country kitchen, hung above a dresser or a run of open shelves, but it suits a hallway, a boot room or a dining room just as well. At 60cm across it holds its own on a wide stretch of wall, filling the space above a sideboard, console table or fireplace without crowding it. The cockerel has long been a favourite emblem of farmhouse style, and this one brings a rural note to a town house as readily as to a cottage. It also makes a thoughtful gift for the home.

The piece is made of metal and finished in black throughout. A small loop at the top of the ring lets it hang from a single nail, picture hook or screw; do check the fixing suits your wall before you hang it. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Give it a clear stretch of wall so the cut-out lines can be seen, and set it alongside warm wood, linen and natural textures for a relaxed farmhouse look.
