A rabbit that looks rescued from a chateau garden, ears worn soft and coat gone to stone.
Dante is a sitting rabbit sculpture, his textured coat worked in rough tufts beneath an aged white finish that wears through to warm tones on the ears, brow, and paws. Cast in resin, he carries the look of old garden statuary at a fraction of the fuss.
At 22.5cm tall he sits at book stack height, holding his own on a console, a shelf, a mantel, or beside the front door where he greets everyone at ankle level.
Why we love it
◆The coat, rough tufted texture that reads carved stone from across the room
◆The ears, one up, one turned, with the white worn back where years of weather would take it
◆The scale, 22.5cm of presence that fits a shelf without staging a takeover
◆The giftable price, a piece of the chateau look that wraps up small

How to style it
Dante works anywhere a room needs a little life.
Sit him on a stack of old books at the end of a console
Tuck him beside a planter on a sheltered porch step
Gather him with the statuary in our sculptures collection
Dress a spring table with pieces from our home accents collection
Stylist's TipSculpted animals read best slightly hidden; let him peek from behind a plant or a stack of books and every visitor discovers him for themselves.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry brush between the tufts. He tolerates a sheltered porch, but direct rain and harsh sun will hurry the wear, so under cover is his happy place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is he made of?
Dante is cast resin beneath the aged white finish, which gives him the look of weathered stone while staying light enough for any shelf.
Is the chipped look intentional?
Yes, the wear on the ears and coat is applied as part of the hand finish, so he arrives already looking like a family heirloom.
Can he live outdoors?
He suits a covered porch or sheltered courtyard. Direct weather will age the finish faster than intended, so keep him out of the rain.
How big is he in person?
22.5cm tall and 19cm nose to tail, about the height of a hardcover book standing upright.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The aged white is worked by hand, so where the warm tones show through the coat varies from rabbit to rabbit, which is part of the intended character.
Because Dante is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
