This leaf frame is handcrafted and shaped from ¾" wide steel into a soft, asymmetrical form. Each leaf is carefully formed to echo the lines of real foliage, then left to age naturally and gracefully, developing a rustic patina that deepens with time.
Made to weather the outdoors year-round, this piece requires no upkeep. The rust finish may vary in color when new but will gradually darken into a rich, uniform tobacco tone.
Each frame is about 15" wide, 15" tall, and 2" deep, and includes a sawtooth bracket on the back for easy hanging.
Helpful tip: Rust is a natural, evolving finish. With changes in humidity or temperature, it may flake a little—this is completely normal. If you’re displaying the frame indoors and want to reduce shedding, try a few light coats of clear spray lacquer (like Rustoleum) to help seal the surface while keeping its matte look.
Because each piece is shaped by hand, no two frames are exactly alike—every one carries its own unique character.
