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.

The concepts were well presented and were familiar to especially about gathering my favourite pieces slowly over time and with care.
I love being able to experiment with colours and layering lighting. It’s fun and I always tell myself I can live with some choices for some time and can always make adjustments.
I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
