Description
This little metal plaque shows two cheerful bees perched on coiled wire stems, rising from a chunky square base in a warm light brown. The larger bee rises tallest and the smaller one bobs beside it on a shorter coil. Each has a round striped body, soft white wings, a smiling face and rosy pink cheeks. The bees are cut from metal and painted on the front, and their backs are left a clean white, so the piece looks tidy from any angle. It stands 16.5cm tall, 7cm wide and 2.5cm deep, a size that fits a narrow shelf or the corner of a desk without crowding it.
Because it is freestanding, the plaque needs no hooks, nails or wall space. Set it on a bookshelf, a windowsill, a bedside table or a mantelpiece and it sits neatly on its own base. The curly coils and smiling faces bring a light, playful note to a kitchen shelf, a home office or a hallway table. The soft yellow and brown sit happily alongside plants, books and other small ornaments. It is a cheerful little piece to give, or to keep for yourself as a reminder of sunny days in the garden.
The bees and their coiled stems are metal, standing upright from the top of the base so the pair hold their places side by side. As with any small decorative piece, keep it somewhere dry and give it a light dust with a soft dry cloth now and then. Avoid wet cloths and harsh cleaners on the painted bees. When you move it, lift it by the base rather than by the stems. For styling, we like it beside a small potted plant or a jar of honey on an open shelf, where the bees look as though they have just landed. As a gift, it pairs nicely with a handwritten note.
