He arrived and immediately became the most important resident of my home. The detail on this distinguished gentleman is OUTRAGEOUS — red necktie, fitted waistcoat, adorable little shoes, that perfectly weathered antique finish. Functional tray holder AND full personality statement simultaneously. My home has never had better service!

Okay this hippo butler figurine is EVERYTHING!! The little vest and red bow tie is such a whimsical, quirky detail, and the tray he’s holding is perfect for rings or little trinkets. Such fun, playful decor for a console table or entryway. The vintage-style distressed finish gives it real character too, feels collectible. Kids and guests both love it lol. Such a unique conversation piece, love it!
