2 Swimming Turtles Polished Stone Effect Resin Figurine - Blue

This resin figurine of two turtles swimming together brings a little of the open sea indoors. Each shell has a glossy, polished stone effect in deep ocean blues, marbled with lighter blue and crossed by fine white lines that pick out the plates, while the heads and flippers are finished in a textured silver colour that catches the light. The larger turtle glides ahead with its front flippers stretched wide, and the smaller one follows just behind, both rising from a dark blue base shaped like a coral reef. It stands 18cm high, 24.5cm across and 10cm deep, so it holds its own on a shelf without crowding it.

Because it sits on its own reef base, it needs no wall or stand: set it on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a sideboard and it is ready. At 10cm deep it suits a narrow shelf, and its 24.5cm width gives it presence in the middle of a mantelpiece or at the end of a row of books. The blues sit happily with coastal and seaside schemes, with crisp white and grey rooms, and with natural wood, and the silver-coloured detail works well alongside chrome, glass or mirrored pieces. It is at home in a living room, a hallway, a study or a bedroom.

The figurine is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the scaled flippers, the patterned shells and the knobbly texture of the reef base, and the gloss finish gives the shells their deep, polished look. To keep it at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, which could dull the gloss. Set it beside shells or driftwood for a seaside shelf, or wrap it in tissue as a thoughtful gift.
