Cordon bleu Renaissance Portrait Wooden Welcome Board

Some parrots hold court from the perch, and the Cordon bleu Parrot is one of them. Here that dignity greets your guests at the door — and then quietly admits, in smaller letters, that a few humans live here too.

■ What's included A paulownia welcome board carrying the Cordon bleu Parrot's round Renaissance crest, with a wooden easel so it can simply be stood wherever you like. Finished one piece at a time.

■ What it says Across the top, "Welcome to the Home of". In the centre, the crest bearing the Cordon bleu Parrot and the breed name. And underneath, in smaller letters, "(and some humans)". Read together, the board is quite clear about who the house actually belongs to.

■ Size Board approx. 20 cm wide × 30 cm tall. Sizes vary slightly, as each board is made by hand from natural timber.

■ Materials Paulownia — a wood prized in Japan for being remarkably light and easy to handle. Grain and tone differ from board to board depending on the timber.

■ Where it goes By the front door, on a shelf, on a shop counter. The easel is included, so nothing needs mounting and nothing needs a nail.

■ Care Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid wet cloths, direct sunlight and humidity, all of which can cause warping or discolouration. Best kept indoors.

■ Character Each board is finished by hand, so tone and depth of colour differ slightly between pieces. Together with the grain natural to real wood, these differences are what make every board one of a kind.

■ Shipping Carefully packed and shipped within 4–7 days of purchase.
