Q: Are they sold together or individually?
Individually — Mr. Rabbit and Mrs. Rabbit are two distinct references, each available for separate order. To get the complete duo, one of each must be ordered. This flexibility allows for purchasing one as a centerpiece, or both together for the most narrative duo composition in the catalog.
Q: What is the difference between Mr. Rabbit and Mrs. Rabbit?
Mr. Rabbit is the male character — usually with his top hat, jacket, and gentleman-rabbit attributes. Mrs. Rabbit is the female character — with her dress, apron, or basket depending on the model. Both have the same size (Ø19xH42cm, 1.388kg) and the same hand-painted finish, but very distinct costumes and expressions that make them immediately identifiable.
Q: Can these rabbits stay in an exposed garden all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. Weighing 1.388kg, they have excellent stability on the ground or on a ledge. For a garden very exposed to wind, a slightly sheltered location is preferable to protect them from accidental shocks.
Q: What is the cultural register of these characters?
Mr. & Mrs. Rabbit belong to a very strong literary tradition — that of anthropomorphic animals in 19th-20th century English literature: the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll), Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, and more generally all the dressed rabbit characters from period tales and illustrations. It is a universal and immediately recognizable register that transcends generations and cultures.
Q : Is it a good gift for someone who loves rabbits, stories, or fairy gardens?
The most premium and memorable fairy gift in the catalog for these three profiles. Mr. or Mrs. Rabbit says both "I know your love for rabbits / stories / poetic gardens" and "I have chosen something exceptional." It is a gift that makes an impression, lasts, and is shown to every visitor. For a significant birthday, a housewarming, or a couple's gift — both together for the complete duo.
