Illumination Helmet - Burt
Brain's Illumination Helmet (for fairies).
STORY: Night flying and navigating in poor weather conditions pose a huge risk to fairies everywhere. The Illumination Helmet was developed to increase visibility when flying. Reportedly collisions have decreased significantly since its introduction.
SPECIFICATION: Burt wears a tan leather flight suit and shoes. His wings are both beautiful and rare with their distinctive brown smudging. His ‘Illumination Helmet’ is made using brass wire, brass sheet, a candle and paper, carefully mounted on an acorn cup helmet.
He stands on a dark wooden base that can be free standing or attach to the wall via a fixing on the rear. The piece features a typed title and a signature and date on the back.
All sculptures arrive with a certificate of authenticity.
DIMENSIONS: 38cm (h) 17 cm x 12 cm
EU BUYERS: Shipping to Europe from the UK has changed significantly this year and the systems are still in development for transit. Many couriers are in the process of launching new processes that are not yet fully formed, clear or consistent.
As such I shall be posting all overseas purchases DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). I shall continue using the ‘Sculpture’ shipping code that has always allowed them to travel worldwide duty free. Despite this, depending on your country, there is a chance that you could be charged VAT, a customs charge and a handling fee. These are the responsibility of the you, the buyer. Please do not make a purchase unless you are happy to risk paying additional fees upon delivery. I will continue to try to unpick this and develop a more predictable Europe shipping journey as soon as I can.
