Round Seated Squirrel Silhouette Metal Wall Art 40cm - Black

This round metal wall art shows a squirrel in bold black silhouette, seated with its front paws raised to its mouth and its bushy tail curled high behind it. The squirrel sits inside a slim round ring, its tail and feet meeting the edge, so the whole piece reads as one clean circle on the wall. Fine details pick out the eye, the ear, the cheek and the feathery tufts of the tail, giving the silhouette plenty of character with no extra colour. It measures 40cm across and 1cm deep, large enough to hold a wall on its own without crowding it.

Because it is a single black design, it sits happily against most wall colours, from white and soft grey to deeper greens and blues, where the contrast makes the outline stand out. We like it in a hallway or on a landing, above a sideboard in the living room, or on a kitchen or dining room wall where a woodland touch suits the room. At 40cm across it can fill the space between two windows on its own, or join framed prints and mirrors in a gallery arrangement. It also sits well in a cottage or rustic scheme, a reading corner or a study, anywhere a little wildlife feels at home.

The piece is made of metal with a black finish, and at 1cm deep it sits close to the wall rather than standing out from it, so it suits a narrow hallway where nothing should catch a passing shoulder. Caring for it is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. For a balanced look, hang it with its centre at roughly eye level, or group it with other round pieces in different sizes for a relaxed wall that tells a story about the outdoors.
