Full description
Sophie is an elegant French snail of noble lineage. She has come to visit from the Palace of Versailles, where her great-great-great-grandmother was the first Snail to take up residence in the Gardens (she was a close personal friend of André Le Nôtre).
Sophie has inherited her family's ancestral home in the Orangerie, but wanted to travel for six months before returning to her estate duties.
Sophie is nearly 7cm long and 3cm tall. She is made entirely from polymer clay, apart from her eyes and feelers. Her shell has been finished with millefiori flowers and a high gloss varnish.
Sophie is signed with an artist's mark - a slice of my unique 'QC' cane. She comes in her own smart presentation box with a signed certificate, and will be sent safely by Recorded Delivery post.
International posting available - please contact me for an estimate of postage costs.
