Description

A charming hand-carved and hand-painted ornament featuring three colourful bumblebees buzzing around a branch. The bees are depicted as a fatter-bodied UK bee with classic black and yellow stripes, mounted on a parasite wood branch fixed into a sturdy wooden base.

Each figure is individually carved and painted by hand, giving the trio a warm, rustic character and subtle variations in finish and colour. Sizes are approximate due to the handcrafted nature of the piece, so every item is slightly unique in appearance.

Measuring 18 cm tall with a compact footprint, this small decorative piece suits shelves, mantelpieces or side tables where a touch of folk-style charm is wanted. Its detailed paintwork and tactile wooden carving make it a sweet accent or small gift for nature lovers and collectors of handcrafted items.

Please note that because these bees are hand made and hand painted, small differences in carving, paint application and finish should be expected and are part of the item's handcrafted appeal.

  • Hand-carved craftsmanship: Each bee is shaped by hand to give a tactile, artisan quality not found in mass-produced ornaments.
  • Hand-painted detail: Classic black and yellow stripes and colourful paintwork create a lively, eye-catching finish that complements rustic and cottage-style interiors.
  • Compact display size: At 18 cm high and a small footprint, the piece fits comfortably on shelves, desks and mantel displays without dominating the space.
  • Unique variations: Slight differences in carving and paint make every item one-of-a-kind, ideal for collectors or as a thoughtful, personal gift.
  • Sturdy wooden base: The branch is fixed into a solid wooden base for stable tabletop display, keeping the trio upright and secure.
  • Natural material: Made from parasite wood and finished by hand for an authentic, natural character and grain pattern.

FAQs

How should I clean a hand-painted wooden ornament without damaging the paint?

Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dust and grit. Avoid abrasive cloths, strong detergents or solvent-based cleaners that can remove or dull the paint. If necessary, gently dab a barely damp cloth on an inconspicuous area, then dry immediately to prevent moisture absorption into the wood.

Will sunlight or humidity affect the painted wood finish?

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause painted colours to fade and the wood to dry out over time. Likewise, high humidity or rapid changes in humidity can cause wooden pieces to swell or crack. Keep the ornament indoors in a stable, moderate environment away from direct sun and heat sources to preserve the paint and wood.

How can I prevent paint chips or scuffs on a small carved wooden decoration?

Handle the item by its base rather than gripping the painted figures, and avoid frequent handling. Keep it away from high-traffic surfaces where it might be knocked. For light scuffs, avoid abrasive cleaning; consult a conservator or use a small artist’s touch-up with matching acrylic paint if necessary, testing in an inconspicuous spot first.
