A crab, not a cartoon
The shape follows a real crab closely, so it reads as a considered object rather than a novelty ornament.
Patina that improves it
The polished brass carries a natural patina from the start and deepens slowly, which is why the piece looks better a year in.
Right for coastal rooms
At 15 by 8 cm it sits comfortably on a shelf, a windowsill or a stack of books alongside wood, linen and stone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions?
Approximately 15 cm by 8 cm by 6 cm, weighing around 0.5 kg. Small enough for a shelf and heavy enough to feel solid in the hand.
What is the finish like?
Polished brass with a natural patina, which gives depth rather than a flat mirror shine and continues to develop over time.
Will it corrode?
Brass is corrosion resistant, so it copes with a bathroom shelf or a coastal home far better than a plated or painted piece would.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a dry soft cloth. If you prefer a brighter surface a brass polish restores it, though many people leave the patina exactly as it is.
Where does it look best?
Shelves, windowsills, desks and console tables, particularly in rooms that already use natural textures such as wood, linen and stone.
