Wire bonsai tress, modern art for your home or office

These wire tree sculptures are actually metal tree sculptures. They are a unique wire tree centerpiece that you could display on a coffee table or dining table as art work. Some trees are made with steel galvanized wire and others are made with copper wire strands to give the wire sculpture a different look.

The main trunk and branches of this sculpture are made of 20 and 26 gauge steel galvanized wire, giving it a matte gray finish. The outer twigs and hammered leaves are made of 26 gauge brass wire. The combination of the two types of wire strands give this sculpture a lifelike appearance. In contrast to the multi colors of the tree, this metal art is planted into a simple 8″ round grass covered base. The grass is created by using several types of sand which is painted in green, yellow and white and which will not fade.

This tree is made of 22 gauge black steel wire. The middle or trunk of this indoor metal tree sculpture is composed of heavier wire for strength. The outer layers are created by twisting thinner strands of wire to give it a finer texture. The tree art is mounted onto a base of thick, mined, polished granite stone with small circular felt pads and glued using a bonding agent.

A bonsai tree sculpture is more than just wire and rock

The idea is not to twist the wire strands to look like an exact replica of a tree. Like all art work it just gives you the appearance of a tree.
Wire trees are a very beautiful ornamental tree sculpture for decorating an office with a very professional look. It also adds to a formal living room or dining room when you need a unique piece of artwork to display.
