The Savage Works Rusty Metal Allium Flower is a striking sculptural ornament designed for garden enthusiasts looking to add vertical interest and architectural texture to their outdoor landscape. Measuring 1 meter tall, this piece serves as a sophisticated focal point among flowers or as a standalone art piece, offering a natural, evolving aesthetic as it develops a unique patina over time; however, potential buyers should note that the item is supplied in a non-rusted steel state and requires outdoor exposure or manual treatment to achieve its signature weathered appearance.

The sculpture stands at exactly 1 meter in height.
The item is supplied in a non-rusted state, though you can request a pre-rusted finish which adds 7 days to your lead time.
Yes, you can spray the sculpture with salt water to accelerate the development of the natural patina.
No, the mild steel is thick enough that the patina forms a protective outer layer, ensuring the sculpture remains structurally sound for many years.
The sculpture is designed to be stable on its own due to the weight of the steel, but you can push the base slightly into soft soil for extra security.
While intended for the garden, it can be used indoors as a decorative piece, though it will not develop the rustic patina unless exposed to outdoor moisture.
Ensure the sculpture is in an outdoor location exposed to rain and humidity; alternatively, mist the surface with a solution of water and salt to accelerate the oxidation.
Place the sculpture on a decorative stone base or a rubber mat to prevent water run-off from leaving orange marks on porous surfaces.
Installation is straightforward as the sculpture is designed for ground placement; ensure the surface is level to prevent leaning. While the piece is low-maintenance, consider placing it on a bed of gravel or stone if you are concerned about rust staining on wooden decking or light-colored patio tiles. Over time, the rust layer serves as a protective coating for the steel, requiring no additional painting or sealing. If you choose to stop the rusting process, you may apply a clear metal lacquer, though this will alter the natural matte appearance.
