"More bread please"

Most ducks spend their days dabbling for weeds and bullying swans for breadcrumbs. This pair has loftier ambitions - they're after a permanent spot on your shelf. Meet the Wiggly Duck and her devoted Duckling, a sculptural mother-and-baby duo with all the charm of the riverbank and none of the muddy footprints.

Where a real duck has soft down and waterproof feathers, these two are dressed in something rather more unusual: lengths of fine wire, patiently stretched, coiled, and cross-wrapped by hand around a sculpted internal frame. Once each body has taken shape, the whole piece is dipped in nickel to give it that beautifully soft, silvery sheen.

Perch them on a hallway console, a kitchen windowsill, or a study bookshelf. Choose the petite Duckling, the larger Duck, or the full waddling family.
