He Has a Monocle, a Magnificent Moustache & No Interest in Being Ordinary.

There are objects that sit on a surface and there are objects that preside over one. This brass hare — pinstriped jacket, a bold curling moustache, monocle on a delicate chain — is firmly, unapologetically in the second category. He is small enough to live on a kitchen dresser between the good olive oil and the flowers you cut from the garden. He is substantial enough to make everyone who passes him do a quiet, delighted double-take.

Set on his classical square pedestal base on a worn oak sideboard, he holds his own beside matte black ceramic and spring blossom without trying at all. He is the piece that tells people — within thirty seconds of walking into your home — that the person who lives here has taste, has wit, and is entirely uninterested in spaces that take themselves too seriously. He is the punctuation mark at the end of a beautifully composed sentence. The wink in an otherwise immaculate room.

Up close, the detail rewards every moment of attention — the individually sculpted whiskers of that moustache, the pinstripe lines of his jacket, the chain that catches the light as it loops from monocle to lapel. He has been made by someone who understood that small things, done properly, are never actually small. And he will be chosen by someone who understands exactly the same thing.
