A delightful cold painted bronze figure depicting a mouse perched atop a cotton reel, captured in an inquisitive pose with its paws raised.

The piece displays charming detail throughout, from the mouse’s ears, paws and tail to the textured thread wound around the reel.

Cold painted bronze animal figures became popular during the late Victorian and early 20th century period, with mice being among the most sought-after subjects.

This example combines whimsy and craftsmanship, making it an appealing decorative piece for collectors of animalier bronzes and novelty antiques.

The contrasting colours and detailed modelling create a characterful display piece suitable for a desk, shelf, cabinet of curiosities or sewing-themed collection.
