Our fair trade Haitian Metal Art collection is absolutely incredible. This Lotus Sunface piece is intricately designed and petal perfect!  This masterfully beauty is inspired by the lotus flower and will bloom and shine in your space. Created by Edson Germain.

With many goods shipped to Haiti in 55-gallon steel oil drums, there is a ready supply of discarded drums for the artisans to repurpose into amazing, expressive artistic creations. The clanging of hammers, chisels and hammers on sculptures provide constant music! The artisans begin with designs inspired by nature and culture. After each one is shaped, smoothed and decorated, the artist chisels their name proudly onto the stunning work of art.

Haitian steel drum sculptures (fer découpé) are fabulous both indoors and out!

Outdoor care:
Pieces exposed to the elements will generally not remain glossy and over time will take on a flat patina and will eventually rust. To deter the corrosion, thoroughly spray it with WD-40® and do not wipe the spray. You will likely need to reapply once a year.

Indoor care:
If scratched or worn, apply a light spray of a clear varnish made for metal (gloss or satin finish) Scratches should disappear immediately.
If you have some rust and you want to remove it, first use fine sandpaper, then apply the spray clear enamel.

Handcrafted by fair trade artisans in Haiti.
