A fairy perched on a ball of daisies, one leg swinging, looking up at something.
Miss Angelique is a seated fairy cast in solid iron and finished in a natural rust patina, large butterfly wings open behind her and long wavy hair over one shoulder, sitting on top of a sphere moulded all over with open daisies. One leg hangs straight down the front of the ball and her face is tilted upward. She weighs 2 kg, which is the difference between cast iron and the resin figures that copy this shape. Every petal on the sphere is worked, and the wings carry their veining right through.
At 21.5cm she is a small piece, easily lifted in one hand and best placed where people pass close enough to see the flowers. She is built for outdoor life: the iron is heavy for her size, and the rust patina is a finish rather than a fault, so weather deepens her instead of wearing her out.
Why we love it
◆The pose, looking up with one leg swinging, which gives her a lightness that most cast iron cannot manage
◆The daisy ball, the whole sphere is covered in open flowers, not just the side facing you
◆The wings, cast with the veining right through, and strong enough to handle without care
◆The rust patina, deep amber across the wings and hair, darker in among the petals, and it only improves outdoors

How to style it
She is small and full of detail, so place her within arm's reach rather than across the garden.
Set her on a low wall cap beside a path where you brush past
Nestle her into the front of a bed among low flowering planting
Stand her on an outdoor table or a potting bench
Pair her with Lady Ophelia at 30cm for a large and small
Stylist's TipSit the base of the ball down into low planting so the cast daisies run straight into the real ones. It is a small trick and it makes her look as though she grew there.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft dry cloth to lift dust out of the wing veining and between the daisy petals. The rust patina is a finished surface and needs no sealing. Place a felt pad or a saucer underneath on pale stone or painted timber, and keep harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive pads away from her.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can she live outside all year?
Yes. Iron with a natural rust patina is made for open weather, and rain deepens the colour rather than harming it. On pale stone or decking, set a pad underneath so run off does not mark the surface.
What is she made of?
Solid cast iron throughout, flowered sphere included, finished by hand in a natural rust patina. At 2 kg she is many times the weight of the resin fairies sold at this size.
How big is she?
11cm wide, 14cm deep and 21.5cm tall, at 2 kg net. The second photo shows her beside a 30cm wine bottle to scale.
How is she different from Lady Ophelia?
Lady Ophelia is 30cm with her chin on her hand and knees drawn up, on a sphere of mixed wildflowers. Miss Angelique is 21.5cm, looking upward with one leg hanging, on a sphere of open daisies. They are separate castings rather than two sizes of the same piece, and they sit beautifully together.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close. The patina is applied by hand, so the depth and spread of the rust varies from piece to piece, and no two come out quite the same.
Because Miss Angelique is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

This is Flossie. I ordered Flossie online and waited patiently for her arrival. I checked the mail regulary, eagerly awaiting her arrival. The day she arrived, i opeded the box and thrre she was. Absolutely perfect and GREAT QUALITY. Exactly like the photos. Flossie now resides in our garden, overseeing the plants and i just love the pop of fun she brings.
The young ladies, Ophelia and Angelique, have made themselves very much at home in a shady corner of my garden. Both so rustic and charming … I’m so pleased with these adorable little additions to my garden 😍😍

Have a frog lover in the family and fell in love with this little guy when I saw him - delivery was slow though so don’t think you’ve been scammed when it’s slow to arrive.
Really good quality cast iron ware and at reasonable prices. Returning customer. Also if goods are damaged in transit this company is happy to replace with photo proof and no other fuss!
An absolutely wonderful piece that arrived quickly and professionally packed. All safe and secure. Great size and exactly what I was looking for. Makes a great feature on the deck surrounded with greenery. Well worth the cost and a great buy
Love this mirror, finishes off my space perfectly. The metal is very raw as expected but be mindful of very fine sharp edges around the mirror, I smoothed them out using a metal file, no problems. Great service and communication, love the unique pieces Chateau Living offers. Thank you! :)
I am disappointed with the size of the piece although it is my error as I did not take on the measurements that are there. The photo I think is a little misleading though. I still like the piece so I am going to keep, but I will be more careful in future.
Every order is packed with care & insurance cover, but if anything arrives damaged, send us a photo as soon as possible and we'll arrange a replacement. No need to return the damaged piece.
Will my piece look exactly like the photos?
Very close, but expect small variations. Patina depth, paint distress, and metal aging will differ slightly from unit to unit.
Where do you ship from and how long does delivery take?
All Château Living orders ship from our Bribie Island warehouse in Queensland. Standard delivery is 3-7 business days, with tracking sent to your inbox the moment your order leaves us.
What if it doesn't suit my space when it arrives?
You're covered by our 100-Day Money Back Guarantee. If a piece doesn't suit your space, return it within 100 days of delivery for a full refund. We want every Château piece to feel like it was made for your home.
