This elegant mild steel sculpture features a hovering butterfly approaching a flower. We wanted to create something that looked stunning, yet celebrated the wonder of nature. The sight of a butterfly landing on a flower is a simple yet exquisite thing to see. We have recreated this moment in metal so that it will be there in all seasons.

The Hovering Butterfly makes a graceful addition for any garden or outdoor space, no matter how large or small. The metal flower has 3 layers of petals and an intricate cluster of small metal stamen. The butterfly itself features a detailed body design and a stunning cut out wing pattern true to the designs created by nature.

The Hovering Butterfly rests on two sleek, stem-like stalks. These are connected at the bottom and resting on two supporting feet. This makes it perfect for placing on decking, a patio slab or an outside table.

All of our products are made by our talented team in rural Leicestershire.

Size: 30cm wingspan, length of body 30cm, mounted on a 16mm bar steel frame
