{"product_id":"wooden-giraffe-bird-set","title":"Wooden Giraffe or Bird Set - Hand-Painted Mango Wood Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo pieces, carved from mango wood and left in the natural grain, with the pattern laid over the top in white: dots, scrolls and fine line work covering the whole body. Choose the giraffes - one standing tall, one with its head down grazing - or the birds, a matched pair on turned stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiraffe set: 14 inches and 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide, 1.2 kg (approx. 2.6 lb) for the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBird set: 10 inches tall and 6 inches wide each, 500 g (approx. 1.1 lb) for the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMango wood in a natural finish with white hand-painted detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved and painted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth sets stand unaided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice is per set of two - choose giraffe or bird above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe restraint is the point. Almost everything else in this range is painted in strong colour; these are bare wood with white on top, which is why they sit in a room that has no other Indian decor in it. The white work is freehand - look closely at the dot rows and you can see them breathe in spacing - and it is applied over the raw grain rather than over a base coat, so the wood shows through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGiraffes or birds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGiraffe set\u003c\/strong\u003e - two pieces, one 14 inches tall and one 9 inches with its head lowered. 1.2 kg for the pair. The taller of the two options, and the one that reads as a sculpture rather than an ornament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird set\u003c\/strong\u003e - two matched birds, 10 inches tall and 6 wide, each on its own turned stand. 500 g for the pair. Lighter, smaller, and easier to fit on a bookshelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sets come as two pieces, and both are priced per set rather than per piece. The giraffes are the more expensive of the two because there is considerably more wood in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere they go\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBookshelves, a console, a mantel, a desk, or a nursery. The height difference in the giraffe pair does the work - one up, one down - so they want to be placed together rather than at opposite ends of a shelf. The birds suit a windowsill or a narrow ledge where a taller piece would not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGifting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set to give someone whose taste you are not sure of. Natural wood and white reads as neutral rather than specifically Indian, so it lands in a minimalist flat as easily as in a traditional home. Housewarmings, weddings, a new baby - the giraffe pair in particular gets bought for nurseries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep water and cleaning sprays off the painted detail, and do not soak it. Mango wood does not like standing damp or direct all-day sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces do I get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo, either way. The giraffe set is one tall and one grazing; the bird set is a matched pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the giraffe set more expensive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMore than twice the wood - 1.2 kg against 500 g - and the tall piece needs a longer carving blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the birds on stands or free-standing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach bird sits on its own turned wooden stand, which is what gives them their 10-inch height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the white painted or carved?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPainted, freehand, over the natural wood. It is not inlay and it is not printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nClose, not identical. The dot and scroll work is done by hand, so the density and spacing vary between pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the wood stained or natural?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNatural mango wood grain, with the white detailing applied on top. Grain colour differs from tree to tree, so no two pieces are quite the same shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWould these suit a nursery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey are solid wood with no small removable parts, so as shelf pieces they are fine. They are not toys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order these in bulk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
