Please Note: If you are interested in collecting Harmony Kingdom, Adam Binder Editions or Fragile World pieces, please select me as one of your favorite sellers on eBay, or contact me about a piece you are looking for, and I will be happy to list it, if I have it.
I have a large selection of pieces in my eBay store, but due to the expense of listing them all at one time, I will be listing only a few auctions each week. I will try and list a variety of pieces each week and hopefully you will find items of interest to you.
This Harmony Kingdom box figurine named "Bed and Breakfast" was carved by Peter Calvesbert in 2007. It was hand painted/finished by local craftsmen in the Cotswold area of England.
This auction is for a color variation of the piece where the mice are gray, instead of brown.
Harmony Kingdom description:
“The dormouse is a very secretive creature. It sleeps all winter, only waking to nibble at something in its food store. During the summer, it still sleeps during the day and comes out to feed at night. It’s understandable why Master Carver Peter Calvesbert has never seen a dormouse! Peter started this model during his 2007 American signing tour. Perhaps his travels were so exhausting that he longed for sleep. The interior shows a dormouse doing what it does best. . .sleeping. A message on the lid says “See you in April”, referencing the 2008 HOP Convention taking place in Orlando in April. Also on the lid are the words “Hazel”, “Bramble” and “Honeysuckle”. These are shrubs that are very important to the dormouse’s survival. It eats the hazel, hides and feeds in the brambles, and builds its nest from the honeysuckle. Notice the smooth edged hole in the hazelnut on the base. This is one way of identifying the presence of a dormouse, as other mice leave a serrated edge."
