He Came Down Off the Wall. He Brought His Pipe & His Opinions.

You already know the stag — pipe in mouth, spectacles on, antlers reaching for the ceiling, pipe smoke curling into the air of whichever room is lucky enough to have him. Now he has stepped off the wall and onto your table, dressed properly for the occasion in a buttoned jacket and necktie, mounted on a classical square pedestal with the quiet authority of someone who has always known exactly where they belong. And it turns out he belongs everywhere.

At the centre of an autumn tablescape — tapered candles, dark jewel-toned florals, trailing pine, dark grapes and sculptural spheres pooling across a linen runner — he presides with the warmth of a host who has set a beautiful table and means every guest to feel it. Against white panelled walls beside a desert cactus on a clean oak surface, he is the wry counterpoint that stops a minimal space from ever feeling cold. He carries the room differently depending on the room — which is, of course, the mark of genuine character.

Cast in richly aged antique brass, the lapels of his jacket, the rectangular frames of his spectacles, the pipe — each rendered with the attentive craft that distinguishes a sculpture from a reproduction. He is the tabletop companion to the wall-mount stag, but he is not a copy. Freestanding, fully formed, pedestal-set, he is his own thing entirely — and he has the antlers to prove it.
