In this automata a happy couple gaze into each others’ eyes as hearts and flowers tremble above them. Turn the handle so the hearts and flowers revolve in an endless circle of blessings. In this piece the flowers and the top heart are enamelled while the smaller hearts are burnt copper. The groom is patinated with copper nitrate to achieve that lovely turquoise colour and the bride is painted in lacquered acrylics. They hold a bouquet of lilac enamelled flowers.

Just to keep you on your toes I have added a brass plaque since these pictures were taken. It reads: The Big Day.

This piece is available to buy directly but I’m also happy to chat about bespoke wedding options. I’m always happy to incorporate motifs that are meaningful to a happy couple that you know. Let your imagination run wild!
