Description
An established favourite by renowned sculptor Paul Jenkins, part of the award winning Frith's Sculpture's Hare range. Sitting alert but self-assured, Howard Hare is crafted with amazing skill by craftsmen in Somerset. At 30cm tall he makes a fabulous talking point or statement piece for any room in the house, and would also make a wonderful gift. Please note: this sculpture is made from bronze resin. Place out of reach of children, as resin can be damaged when dropped or bumped. Paul Jenkins began sculpting in wood, clay and wax before going on to study ceramics at Dudley College of Art and has worked as a commercial designer. He is inspired by a love of nature and of animals in particular and his work can be found in many galleries around the country. Many of his pieces are inspired by direct observation of wildlife in their natural habitat. Paul has also sculpted several pieces for the National Trust which were then presented to people for their outstanding contributions within the trust.
Our Stylist Says
I love this hare sculpture for its subtle texture and understated charm, making it a versatile piece for various interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist or contemporary spaces, adding a touch of whimsy without overpowering the decor. To style it effectively, consider placing it on a mantelpiece, side table, or bookshelf where its character can be appreciated up close. Pair it with natural materials like wood or stone to enhance its organic vibe, or create contrast with sleek, modern surroundings for an eye-catching focal point. The key is to let it stand out by giving it enough space to breathe, making it a charming yet unobtrusive addition to your home.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
