This one-of-a-kind tree sculpture is created by prominent artist Sal Villano and is fashioned with wire gauges ranging in size from 32 to 18. The wire used is electroplated onto steel wire to achieve the gold color and strength for many years. The tree sculpture is bonded onto its base, which is a Chinese painted ceramic lotus bowl, using sea sand. Since the bond is made onto a pourous material, a water soluable glue is used and therefore, the tree sculpture should never be placed in a dishwasher. Clean your tree sculpture with a damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Shipped UPS Ground - $11.95.
