Penguin Family Polished Stone Effect Resin Figurine - White

This penguin family figurine shows two adult penguins and their chick, made in resin with a polished stone effect finish. The two parents stand side by side, one bowing its head towards the other, while the chick stands in front of them with its flippers spread wide. Their fronts are a speckled white with the look of polished stone, their backs a glossy black that deepens into dark blue, and a warm orange glow marks each adult's neck. All three rest on a pale, faceted base shaped like a slab of ice. It measures 17.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep.

It is a size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a living room side table without crowding its neighbours. At 9cm deep it fits a narrow shelf or a windowsill, and it looks as at home on a bedroom chest of drawers or a hallway console. The pale base and white fronts keep it light against a pale wall, while the glossy black backs give it definition against a darker one. The family grouping is what draws people in: the bowed head and the chick tucked between its parents tell a small, tender story, and it adds a quiet, wintry charm to any room it joins.

The figurine is made in polyresin and given a gloss finish, which lends the white its stone-like sheen and makes the dark backs shine. It is freestanding on its own base, so it needs no fixing: choose a spot on a flat, stable surface and set it down. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wipe it with a damp cloth if it needs more, drying it afterwards. Set it with a stack of books or a small pot of greenery on a shelf, or give it as a thoughtful present that will find a place in almost any home.
