Camy Giraffe Marble Ornament - Beige

Our Camy ornament is a giraffe cut from 100% marble, a flat silhouette with a long neck, two small horns and slotted legs, and a little heart motif on the side of its neck. The stone is beige with deeper streaks of veining running across it at an angle, so the giraffe looks as though it has its own markings. It stands 25.5cm tall, 12.5cm long and only 3cm wide, and it weighs 1.382KG, which is a lot of weight for a piece this size. That weight gives it a steady footing on a shelf, and the slim profile means it fits on a narrow ledge where a rounder figure would not.

It is made for a child's room. At 25.5cm tall it is large enough to hold its own on a bookshelf, a chest of drawers or a windowsill, standing beside a row of picture books or perched on top of a short stack. In a nursery it gives a shelf a friendly face without adding clutter, and it sits as happily on top of a low storage unit as on a wall shelf. It works beyond the nursery too: on a hallway console or a study desk, the polished stone and simple outline read as a small piece of sculpture.

The marble has a polished finish, which brings out the veining and gives the surface a soft sheen. Marble is a natural stone, so the pattern of veining differs from one piece to the next, and the giraffe you receive will carry its own version of those streaks rather than an exact copy. The stone is cool and smooth to the touch. For styling, pair it with woven baskets, pale wood and soft textiles: the cool stone sits well against warmer textures, and a single giraffe on a short stack of books gives a shelf height without crowding it.

What material is the giraffe?

It is 100% marble with a polished finish, so it is solid natural stone throughout, with streaks of veining running across the beige surface.

How big is the Camy ornament?

It stands 25.5cm tall, 12.5cm long and 3cm wide, so it is a slim figure that fits on a narrow shelf or windowsill without taking up much room.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 1.382KG, which is weighty for its size and gives it a steady, substantial feel on a shelf or chest of drawers.

Does it stand up on its own?

Yes. It stands upright on its slotted legs as a freestanding ornament, ready to go straight onto a shelf, desk or windowsill.

Does every giraffe have the same veining?

No. Marble is a natural stone, so the veining varies from piece to piece and yours will have its own pattern of streaks across the beige stone.

What is the heart on its neck?

It is a small heart motif on the side of the giraffe's neck, a darker mark against the beige marble that gives the figure a little extra charm.
