Penguin 1 Front Facing Garden Column Set | 18 & 24 Inch Rustic Metal Winter Decor

Two cheerful penguins welcome the hush of winter beneath twinkling stars. Our Penguin 1 Front Facing Garden Column Set brings a little storybook character to cabin steps, cottage gardens and snow-dusted porches, with two coordinating steel sculptures made to display together.

Included in this two-piece set

• ONE 18-inch-tall × 4.5-inch-wide garden column and ONE 24-inch-tall × 5.5-inch-wide garden column.
• Both handcrafted from 14-gauge steel, with identical front-facing penguin and stars cutout artwork on all four sides of each column.
• Open tops and bottoms; there are no lids, bulbs, solar lights, or internal lighting.
• Choose matching Raw Steel or Rusted Finish for the pair. $255 includes your selected finish and free shipping.
• Handmade to order in our Michigan family shop, with 7–10 business days for production plus carrier transit.

A little winter family for the porch

Each penguin stands on a gently sweeping snow-inspired base beneath scattered stars. The designs are precision plasma-cut openings, so the real background shows through—never white paint or a solid backing. Display these two heights on either side of a porch bench, among winter greenery or beside an entry planter for a layered, welcoming look. The primary image shows the 18- and 24-inch pair included here. The three-size comparison photo also includes a 32-inch column for reference; the 32-inch size is NOT included in this set.

Choose your finish

Raw Steel: Cleaned, unpainted and unsealed mill-finish steel. It naturally oxidizes and develops rust and patina with time and exposure.

Rusted Finish: Genuine hand-started rust, developed using ordinary ingredients including vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt. Not paint or powder coating. Unsealed steel continues to change naturally; each finish has variations. Photographs show Rusted Finish.

Unsealed rust can transfer to clothing, hands, furniture, floors, walls and other surfaces. Protect nearby materials as needed; an appropriate clear protective coating after delivery can slow future oxidation if desired.

Made for cozy winter gardens

Pair these sweet penguin columns with evergreen garlands, pinecones, flannel plaids and snow-kissed planters, or give the set to a penguin lover who appreciates handmade garden art. Styled props are not included.
