Global Crafts Haitian Metal Fish Wall Art 24 in - Recycled Steel Decor

• FISHBONE SILHOUETTE: An elongated fish skeleton stretches across this sculpture, fins flowing and every rib chiselled by hand. The form comes out of Croix des Bouquets, the Haitian town where metalworkers shape salvaged drums, and the hammered texture gives the piece real depth against a flat wall as light shifts through the day.
• SALVAGED STEEL, LACQUERED: Old oil drums are cut open, flattened, hand cut, embossed and lacquered to become this fish. Left outside, the recycled steel develops a natural rust patina over time, which many owners are happy to let happen, while an annual pass of clear enamel spray holds the finish closer to how it looked on day one.
• 24 BY 10 IN PROPORTIONS: The single fish measures 24 in long by 10 in high, a horizontal shape made for the space above a doorway, bed or console. Your piece may include a hang tab; if not, the open cutouts take nails directly, and two small head nails are generally enough at this size. Handmade, so the size can vary up to 2 in.
• COASTAL AND RUSTIC ROOMS: The nautical subject suits beach houses, lake cabins, farmhouse kitchens and bathrooms, and it holds up as an accent on a covered patio or porch. Pair it with a second fish hung at a different height for a school effect, or let it run alone along a long empty wall above a sideboard or bench. The elongated form fills a narrow strip of wall neatly.
• CROIX DES BOUQUETS CRAFT: Haitian artisans cut and hammer every detail, and many sign the back, leaving a subtle raised signature visible on the front as proof of authorship. Global Crafts, a Fair Trade Federation member, buys this work on fair trade terms that support the metalworking community behind it rather than a production line.
