Description
This set of three squirrel figurines takes the old see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil saying and gives it a woodland twist. Each squirrel sits upright on a plump acorn lying on its side, with its textured cup and curled stalk modelled at the base. Each one strikes its own pose: one covers its eyes, one cups its paws over its ears and one holds them to its mouth. From the side, every squirrel shows a full, sweeping tail and finely etched fur. The whole trio wears a metallic gold effect finish that catches the light, and each figure is 13.5cm high, 8cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
We like them lined up in order along a mantelpiece, a bookcase or a windowsill, where the three poses read left to right and raise a smile from anyone who spots the joke. They suit a hallway console, a study desk or a dressing table just as well. The gold adds warmth to a neutral room or picks up brass and gilt pieces nearby. Split them up if you prefer, with one on each tier of a shelving unit. They also make a cheerful, easy gift, since they fit in almost any room and need no wall or fixing.
Each figure is cast in resin, also called polystone, which holds the fine detail of the fur, paws and acorn cup crisply. Every squirrel stands freely on its own acorn base on any level surface. To keep the gold bright, dust them with a soft dry cloth now and then. Steer clear of harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, which could dull the finish. For a quick autumnal display, set all three on a small tray beside a trailing plant, or tuck them among your books for a playful touch that guests notice on a second glance.
