This leaf frame is individually handcrafted from ¾" wide steel, bent into a flowing, asymmetrical shape. The leaves are shaped one by one to echo the look of real foliage, then left to develop a warm, rustic patina as they age naturally.
Built to live outside year-round, this piece needs no maintenance. The rust finish may vary at first but will slowly darken over time to a deep, tobacco-like color that adds to its charm.
Each frame measures approximately 15" wide x 15" tall x 2" deep and comes ready to hang with a sawtooth bracket on the back.
A quick tip: Rust is a living, changing finish. If the weather or humidity shifts, you might notice a little flaking. That’s completely normal—it’s not falling apart, just doing what rust does. If you're displaying it indoors and want to cut down on shedding, a few light coats of clear spray lacquer (like Rustoleum) will help seal it without making it too shiny.
Because each one is made by hand, expect a bit of variation—every frame is just a little different and entirely unique.
