Q: Is the base really made of natural wood or polyr resin?
Completely made of high-density polyr resin (polystone) that realistically mimics the appearance of a natural branch — knots, irregularities of the bark, warm hue of dead wood. The advantage is that the whole is 100% polyr resin: uniform resistance, no risk of rotting due to outdoor humidity, identical behavior to weather conditions for the branch and the squirrels. It is the same approach as for all the "on wood" items in the Garden Nice range.
Q : Are the two squirrels in the same posture or different?
Different — that is precisely what creates the dynamic of the scene. Each of the two squirrels is sculpted in its own posture, complementary to the other. One may be in an exploratory posture (front paws resting on the branch, looking forward), while the other is in a more upright or differently turned posture — together, they give the impression of a moment of play captured in real time rather than a symmetrical pose.
Q : Can this sculpture stay outside all year round?
Yes for balcony and terrace — the polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. The technical sheet mentions balcony & terrace (not the ground garden in full exposure). For use in a ground garden exposed to full sun, a slightly sheltered location (under a tree, against a wall) will prolong the lifespan of the colors, especially the reddish fur.
Q : Is this piece suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Yes — that is even its great advantage. The high-density polyresin is perfectly suitable for both uses. Indoors, it brings a touch of authentic nature to a shelf or piece of furniture. Outdoors on a balcony or terrace, it withstands the elements and frost. You can move it according to the seasons or your decorating desires.
Q : Is this a good gift for someone who loves nature and woodland animals?
It is one of the best for this profile. The red squirrel is the European wild animal that evokes the most universal affection — lively, mischievous, colorful. Having two playing together on a branch is a scene of nature that everyone appreciates. The size (24 cm, 900 g) gives it the presence of a real decorative object — not a trinket that one forgets — and the quality of the hand-painted finish makes it a piece that deserves to be looked at closely.
