A dragonfly in dark, dotted metal with wings of woven jute, poised to lift off the wall.
Romy is a dragonfly wall piece with a body in aged dark metal, dotted and bronzed across the back, and four wings of woven jute stretched over a wire frame. Each wing is edged in twisted rope, and the weave is open enough to let the wall colour show through.
The wingspan is about 50 cm, so it sits well on its own or grouped in a loose flight across a wall or up a stairwell. It is very light and hangs from a single hook. It pairs with the larger white dragonfly, sold separately.
Why we love it
◆Dragonfly in profile, a soft, nature-led shape with a darker body that stands out against a pale wall
◆Mixed natural materials, an aged dark metal body with woven jute wings and twisted rope edges, all hand-finished
◆Very light, easy to hang, well under a kilo, so it goes up on a single hook and is simple to move or regroup
◆Built for a cluster, lovely on its own or grouped in a flight with the larger white dragonfly, sold separately

How to style it
A few ways to hang it.
Hang one over a bed, a console or a doorway, with more pieces in wall decor
Group it in a loose flight with the larger white dragonfly, sold separately, for contrast
Build it into a gallery wall with mirrors and framed prints
Set it against a pale wall so the dark body and the open jute wings read clearly
Stylist's Tip
Pair the dark Romy with the white dragonfly and turn each at a slightly different angle, as if mid-flight, rather than lining them up level.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, working with the weave on the jute wings rather than against it. Keep it indoors and out of damp, since the jute and the painted finish are not made for weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hang it outside?
It is made for indoors. The wings are woven jute and the body is finished metal, so rain and damp will spoil them. A fully covered, dry spot is the most it should see.
How do I hang it?
It hangs on a single hook or nail. It weighs well under a kilo, so almost any picture hook or small wall plug suited to your wall will hold it.
How big is it?
The wingspan is about 50 cm and it is around 39.5 cm from head to tail, so a little smaller than the white dragonfly. It sits about 6.5 cm off the wall.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial, French country, coastal and farmhouse looks. The dark body and natural jute sit well with linen, timber and other soft, aged finishes.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, with small differences. Each one is hand-finished, so the dark patina and the weave of the jute fall a little differently from piece to piece. That is part of the character.
Because Romy 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.

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.
