DETAILS & SIZE
A fairy sitting out on a ball of wildflowers, chin in hand, thinking about something else.
Lady Ophelia is a seated fairy cast in solid iron and finished in a natural rust patina, large butterfly wings open behind her, long hair falling forward, one knee drawn up and her chin resting on her hand. She sits on a sphere moulded all over with wildflowers and grasses. She weighs 5.4 kg, which is the difference between cast iron and the resin and magnesia pieces that copy this shape. The casting carries the veining of the wings, the fall of the hair and every flower head on the ball beneath her.
At 30cm she is the size of a table lamp, small enough to lift with one hand and detailed enough to hold a spot on her own. 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 wings, broad butterfly wings with the veining cast right through, which is where iron beats moulded resin
◆The flowered ball, the whole sphere is worked with wildflowers and grasses, not just the side facing you
◆The weight, 5.4 kg for a 30cm piece, so she stays put on a wall cap in wind
◆The rust patina, deep amber across the wings, darker in the recesses of the flowers, and it only improves outdoors

How to style it
She is small and full of detail, so put her where people pass close rather than across the lawn.
Set her on a low wall cap beside a path where you brush past her
Put her at the front of a bed among low flowering planting, which is what the ball echoes
Stand her on an outdoor table or a potting bench
Bring her in to a windowsill or a shelf through winter
Stylist's TipNestle the base of the ball into low planting so the moulded flowers 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 moulded flowers. 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 5.4 kg she is many times the weight of the resin fairies sold at this size.
How big is she?
18cm wide, 16cm deep and 30cm tall, at 5.4 kg net. The second photo shows her beside a 30cm wine bottle to scale.
Are the wings fragile?
No. They are cast iron and part of the same piece, not a glued-on addition. They are the strongest part of her.
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 Lady Ophelia 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.

Although there was a minor delay ( I gather a mixup with delivery) I am thrilled with the transformation the mirror had given my small balcony .
It has added a dimension and warmth to my small space.
I love my The Jardin Trio French Country Flower Wall Decor Set of 3, Embossed Metal. They are just perfect for the spot I wanted them for. They match perfectly and blend in with the Muriel wallpaper feature wall that complements the same tones and brings character to a space that was lacking a touch of “chic” so thank you Chateau living , you delivered on quality , price and service! Very happy, indeed!
Just another great buy! Very, very happy! They look so good in front of the church window and the cherub which I have also purchased from Chateau living.
Exactly what I was looking for! I felt something in that corner with the long, white sheer curtains was needed to complete it ans make it special! What a great buy! Its stunning! It's even more beautiful than how I pictured it.
Love it! Love it! Love it! I am so in love with the church mirror, the two crown candle holders and the little cherub! I had to wait a long time for the cherub though! He was sold out and I put in a pre order. The waiting time was sooo worth it. The cherub completes the white clean look that I have tried to achieve in my home office. The Church window has the same pattern as the electric heater which I have purchased somewhere else. Again once more, very happy with my purchases from Chateaux living!
I have seen this mirror already quite some time ago and could not get it out of my mind. I have finally ordered it! It's stunning! Its very unique and very special as it comes with a separate hook to put on the wall! Gorgeous! So beautiful!
I have actually just received my second one! I have loved my first one so much and I kept moving it from the living room to the guest bedroom, so I decided it's easier just to order a second one. I absolutely adore them! In both of them I have put a fairy light and some greenery which looks as if it flows out of the handbag.
I have bought many things recently from Chateau Living, as I want to stage my house. I love each and every item! Every piece is of high quality and of exquisite style. Each piece looks expensive although I find the pricing actually very affordable.
What I also love is how careful everything is packed. The Church window even arrived in a special made box! Very impressive!
The only negative side is: It is a bit addictive! I want everything in their store!
Thank you so much for your extremely prompt and safe delivery of my beautiful rabbit!! I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him and am not disappointed 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I fell in love with both items they are even better then i expected thank you so so much sorry but we dont do photos but they are perfect where they are
Great customer service, quick delivery and mirror was well packed. We like that the mirror is a bit different to others we have seen and it matches our decor perfectly. It finishes off our lounge area. Very happy with our purchase.
I like the look of this on my hall table I will love the look of this if I am able to buy your Clemenceau half moon console when it comes back into stock .
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?
