Description
This resin figurine shows an adult penguin standing tall with its chick tucked close at its feet, the parent's head bowed down towards the little one. The pair are mostly white, with a mottled blue back that runs down the adult's wings, glossy black heads and warm orange patches at the adult's neck. The polished stone effect finish is high gloss, so the surface catches the light while the speckled white has the look of a smooth, pale pebble. It stands 30cm tall, 14cm wide and 16cm deep, a good size to hold its own on a shelf without crowding it.
We think it looks its best where it can be seen from the front and the side: on a sideboard, a bookcase, a deep windowsill or a console table in the hallway. The clean white body and touches of blue suit a calm, light room, and they lift a darker wood shelf too. The bowed head and the chick pressed against the parent give the piece a gentle, tender feel, so it sits as happily in a bedroom or study as in a living room. Because it is freestanding, there is nothing to hang and no wall to fix it to; you simply set it down on a flat, steady surface.
The figurine is made from resin, often called polyresin, which holds the fine detail of the beaks, the folded wings and the speckled feathers, and its polished finish gives it a deep gloss. To keep that shine bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. For a simple winter display, stand it beside a white candle in a glass holder and a sprig of pine, and wrapped in tissue it makes a gift that feels considered rather than ordinary.
