A sculpted bee with a distressed wood body and laser-cut white iron wings, the softest tonal pairing of the four for a quiet wall moment.
Honey is a wall-mounted decorative bee with a sculpted fir wood body and laser-cut iron wings, legs, and antennae in soft white. The body is shaped in three rounded segments with a smaller domed head and small carved eye detail, finished in a soft natural wood tone with a whitewashed dry-brush highlight along the high points. The wings are veined with delicate cut-out detail, the kind that almost disappears against a pale wall and lets the wooden body do the talking.
At 40.5 cm wide and 23.5 cm tall, Honey reads as a generous statement on a wall rather than a small accent. Of the four bees in the collection, her white wings are the most tonal pairing with the wood body, the quietest of the four to live with. She belongs in white-on-white interiors, Hamptons-style sunrooms, neutral nurseries, and any space where you want softness rather than contrast.

How to style it
Honey's softest-of-the-four palette makes her the most easily styled, here are a few placements:
Mount her solo on a white or pale wall, where her tone-on-tone wings keep the focus on the warm wood body
Pair with Barry (black) for a high-contrast black-and-white moment, or group all four with Maya (yellow) and Willy (sage green) for a four-bee swarm across a feature wall
Style above a console or sideboard in a Hamptons-style sunroom or neutral living room, where her quiet palette adds texture without colour
Use in a soft nursery, white-on-white bedroom, or coastal-French interior alongside other gentle wall decor
Stylist's Tip
Bees in nature don't fly in formation, and they look best on a wall the same way. When grouping Honey with her sisters, stagger the heights and angle the bodies slightly so they read as a swarm in flight rather than a tidy row. Vary the spacing too, with some closer together and some drifting out.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush, paying attention to the laser-cut wing detail where dust collects. Avoid wet cleaning, harsh chemicals, and prolonged damp. The wood body can be wiped with a barely damp cloth and dried immediately. Indoor only, the painted iron wings and natural wood body are not weather-rated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with wall fixings?
No, wall fixings are not supplied. Honey weighs only 0.28 kg net, so a small picture hook, panel pin, or 3M adhesive hook is enough on plasterboard. On harder walls (brick, render), a lightweight wall anchor will do.
Are the wings sharp?
The laser-cut iron wings have smooth, finished edges suitable for indoor decorative use. They are not weapon-sharp, but as with any thin metal, handle carefully when installing and keep out of reach of small children who might grab at the wings.
Can I use her outdoors or in a covered patio?
Indoor only. The wood body and painted iron wings are not weather-rated, so direct rain, humidity, or prolonged sun will affect the finish. She is well suited to sunrooms, enclosed conservatories, and garden rooms with full weather protection.
How does Honey compare to the other bees in the collection?
All four bees share the same body shape and 40.5 cm wingspan, with the wing colour the point of difference. Maya wears warm buttercup yellow, Willy wears soft sage green, Barry wears matte black, and Honey wears soft white. Honey pairs particularly well with Barry for a high-contrast black-and-white statement.
What style of decor does she suit?
French Provincial, French country, Hamptons, coastal, Scandi, neutral and white-on-white interiors, nursery, sunroom, and conservatory. The white tone is especially flattering against natural timbers, linen, and stone.
Will every piece look exactly like the photos?
Honey is hand-finished, so the whitewash distribution on the wood body and slight variations in wing paint coverage are natural. Each piece reads as gently aged rather than mass-produced.
Because Honey is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, paint coverage, and wood 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.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
