Textured Footballer Resin Figurine with Ball on Base - Black

This black resin footballer figurine catches a player mid-stride, one foot resting on the ball as he lines up his next touch. The figure is pared back to its essentials, with a smooth, faceless head, long limbs and arms held out for balance, so the eye goes straight to the pose. Its surface is worked with a rippled, textured finish that catches the light along the shoulders and legs, and the football at his feet carries its panel lines in fine relief. He stands on a rounded oval base with the same uneven, earthy texture, all in one deep black. Standing 22.5cm tall, 14cm wide and 15cm deep, he has real presence without crowding a shelf.

That size suits a shelf, mantelpiece, desk or bookcase, and the broad base sits flat, so he needs no fixings and no wall space. The plain black works with almost any scheme: against pale walls or light wood he reads as a crisp silhouette, while beside darker shelving and well-thumbed books he adds texture rather than contrast. He sits happily in a study, a home office, on a hallway console or among the ornaments on a living room shelf, and the single colour means he pairs easily with other dark pieces, frames and plants.

He is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the rippled surface, the ball's panels and the textured base. To keep the finish looking its best, dust him with a soft dry cloth, or wipe him with a slightly damp cloth for anything more stubborn and dry him straight away, avoiding harsh cleaners. Give him a little space of his own at eye level, perhaps at the end of a row of books, where the pose and the textured surface can be seen from the side as well as the front. Wrapped in plain tissue, he makes a thoughtful present that needs no explanation.
