Description

Meet The Cur-ous Reader: A moving story in reclaimed wood.

There is something magical about the mechanical click of a hand-cranked automata. This piece features a very studious little mouse, deeply engrossed in his “Big Book of Cheese.” As you turn the manual crank, he playfully peeks over the top of the pages, caught between his love of literature and his love of cheddar.

Craftsmanship & Materials:

  • Hand-Carved: The mouse is roughly carved by hand, giving him a unique, tactile personality.

  • Sustainable Art: Created using timber salvaged from a Cornish carpenter’s workshop—giving new life to wood that was destined for the fire.

  • Hand-Painted: Every tiny detail, from the book’s title to the mouse’s ears, is finished by hand in our Pendeen studio.

Product Details:

  • Mechanism: Manual crank (hand-powered).

  • Dimensions: [ Height x Width] cm.

  • Note: As a handmade item made from natural reclaimed wood, each automata has its own unique grain and slight variations in expression
