Named for the proud rooster of medieval fable, Chanticleer brings the grandeur of French country chateau decoration to any painted surface: a kitchen dresser, a farmhouse cabinet, a statement mirror frame, or a large tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two roosters are a natural mirrored pair — one left-facing, one right-facing — each standing on a leafy ground base with tail feathers fanning dramatically behind them. Between them rises a central acanthus plume, and large sweeping acanthus C-scroll ornaments anchor each corner. The level of sculptural detail is exceptional: every feather, every scale on the leg, every curl of the comb is individually rendered in deep relief that catches the light and shadow like genuine carved plaster. Cast in cream or antique white and dry-brush with raw umber or gold wax for a finish that looks like it belongs on a 19th-century French farmhouse armoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMould Elements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeft-Facing Rooster\u003c\/strong\u003e — large rooster standing on leafy ground base, tail feathers fanning left, every feather and leg scale individually sculpted in deep relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRight-Facing Rooster\u003c\/strong\u003e — mirror of above, tail feathers fanning right — use as a matched pair flanking a cabinet panel or door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentral Acanthus Plume\u003c\/strong\u003e — tall upright acanthus leaf plume, ideal as a centrepiece between the two roosters or as a standalone vertical ornament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Acanthus C-Scroll (Left)\u003c\/strong\u003e — sweeping Baroque acanthus C-scroll corner ornament, facing left\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Acanthus C-Scroll (Right)\u003c\/strong\u003e — mirror of above, facing right — use as matched corner ornaments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: media quantity guides may be printed on the mould sheet — refer to your mould for exact ml\/g measurements per element.
