Description
This hand painted resin figurine shows a giraffe family: two tall giraffes bowing their heads together so that their long necks meet in the shape of a heart, with a young calf gazing up at them from inside it. Each giraffe is painted with the familiar patchwork markings in warm brown, with soft cream faces and ears, dark eyes and small horns on top of every head. All three rise from a textured base painted to look like weathered rock. Made from polyresin, the figurine stands 28cm tall, 17cm wide and 9cm deep.
At just 9cm deep it fits comfortably on a narrow shelf, a bookcase, a dresser or a deep windowsill, and its 28cm height lets the heart outline read clearly from across a living room, a hallway or a bedroom. The open centre is part of the design, so it looks its best against a plain wall where the space inside the heart can show. The theme of a family gathered close suits a family room or a reading corner, and the natural colouring sits happily beside green plants, wooden furniture and shelves of books.
Every part of the figure is painted by hand, from the shading on each coat to the cracks and ridges of the rocky base, so small variations in colour from one piece to the next are part of its charm. The broad base lets it stand on its own on any flat, level surface, with nothing to fix or hang. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, use a soft brush to reach into the textured base, and wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed before drying it straight away. Place it at eye level where the heart is easy to see, or wrap it as a gift with a warm message about family built right in.

Frequently Asked
How big is the giraffe family figurine?
It stands 28cm tall, 17cm wide and 9cm deep. That is a good size for a shelf, sideboard or bookcase without taking over the space.
What is the giraffe figurine made of?
It is made from resin, also known as polyresin. It is finished by hand, with painted markings, shading and detail on all three giraffes and on the base.
What colours is the figurine?
The giraffes are painted with warm brown patches and have soft cream faces and ears. The textured rock-style base is painted in brown tones too.
Does the figurine stand on its own?
Yes. The three giraffes rise from a broad textured base, so the figurine stands freely on any flat, level surface and needs no fixing or hanging.
How do I clean the resin figurine?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and use a soft brush to reach the textured base. Wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed, then dry it straight away.
Would the giraffe family figurine make a good gift?
We think so. The heart formed by the two giraffes' necks, with the calf looking up from inside it, makes a warm present that is easy to wrap and display.
