Archipelago Wren Bird Wood Carving - 'Jenny' Wren

The familiar and lovely Archipelago wooden Wren on a tree stump is 16 cm in height (approx) 2204.

British Design and Innovation is at the very core of Archipelago, renowned for their beautiful wildlife wood carvings.  Each piece is hand carved and painted so every one is unique.

From the first sketches to the final product, the Archipelago design team work directly with Fair Trade skilled carvers and sculptors to carefully manage the entire creative process.

All products are made from sustainable wood, giving an authentic and highly individual character to every piece made which is instantly recognisable.

Each piece comes with the "Archipelago" Teak Tag with logo and branding.

These stunning wood carvings make unique and wonderful gifts.

Size: 10 × 7 × 16 cm

Please note, these beautiful items are all handmade and hand painted and as such each will be slightly different, the birds can vary a little in shade, painting and stance and the bases will differ as each piece of carefully chosen wood will be naturally individual.  These characteristics are what make each piece unique. The images shown are to give you an idea of what you will receive.

Here are some interesting facts about the Wren:

The wren is a tiny brown bird, although it is heavier, less slim, than the even smaller goldcrest. It is dumpy, almost rounded, with a fine bill, quite long legs and toes, very short round wings and a short, narrow tail which is sometimes cocked up vertically. For such a small bird it has a remarkably loud voice. It is the commonest UK breeding bird, although it suffers declines during prolonged, severely cold winters.

Sometimes known as "Jenny Wren" it is thought that she is so named in very old nursery rhymes. The expression precedes her appearance in Dickens's "Our Mutual Friend" and goes back to medieval times. There is a reference to her in Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor.
