Description
This figurine depicts three giraffes in varying heights arranged on a shared matt black plinth, cast from polyresin with an antique bronze finish applied by hand. The tallest giraffe stands at the left, a medium-height giraffe at the right, and the smallest takes the centre position between them. Surface texture mimics weathered bronze with rough patches and tonal variation across the bodies and necks.
The figurine suits mantelpieces, console tables, bookshelves and side tables in living rooms, hallways and offices where there is space for a decorative object approximately 38cm wide. The matt black plinth provides contrast against the bronze-finished polyresin and keeps the base visually separate from the giraffe forms. At 1.7kg the piece has enough weight to sit securely on a shelf without needing additional fixing.
Polyresin takes surface detail well, so each giraffe shows individual sculpted features including defined ears, ossicones (the horn-like protrusions), and limb joints. The antique bronze coating is applied after casting, giving a finish that ranges from dark bronze in recessed areas to lighter bronze-gold on raised surfaces where the hand-finishing has worn through. The rough texture and distressed appearance suit interiors with natural materials, warm metals, or African-inspired decorative schemes.

Frequently Asked
What is polyresin and how does it compare to bronze?
Polyresin is a casting material made from resin mixed with powdered stone or metal. It accepts fine detail during casting and weighs less than solid bronze while offering similar visual texture when finished. The bronze coating is applied after casting to mimic aged bronze appearance.
How is the figurine cleaned?
Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks use a barely-damp cloth with plain water, avoiding soaking the polyresin. Do not use polish, sprays or abrasive cleaners as these may strip the antique bronze finish.
Can the giraffes be separated from the plinth?
No. The three giraffe figures and the matt black plinth are cast as a single piece. The giraffes cannot be repositioned or removed without damaging the sculpture.
What room settings suit this figurine?
The bronze finish and African wildlife subject suit living rooms, studies, hallways and offices with natural materials, warm-toned woods, leather, or interiors incorporating African art or nature-inspired themes. The neutral bronze tone pairs with both warm and cooler colour schemes.
