The Mechanical Carnivore

The Mechanical Carnivore

$43.99

My dear, even botany is improved by a few well-placed gears. In a world powered by steam, one must take precautions against those fast, pesky little aetheric mites that try to chew on one’s blueprints.

I acquired this fascinating specimen during a brief, incredibly confusing stopover at a laboratory belonging to my friend, the remarkable inventor Nikola Tesla. He claimed he was engineering a future where plants could generate their own magnetic field. While I found the concept charming, I suspected this magnificent, bronze-hued specimen was simply designed to snap at irritating guests.

This spectacular sculpture is cast in durable Cold Cast Resin, giving it a weighty, metallic sheen of bronze and copper that hints at repurposed pipework.

  • The Head: The carnivorous maw is reinforced with gears and rivets, giving it a ferocious, yet stylish, bite.

  • The Stem: The stalk is a marvel of mechanical articulation, appearing to be made of articulated plates, valves, and coiled wiring, suggesting a highly complex internal clockwork mechanism.

  • The Base: It rises from a detailed plant pot base, accented with small, pipe-like pumpkin accents and a large control valve, ready to regulate the flow of aether, steam, or perhaps just a very strong fertilizer.

Its imposing size, approximately 4.84" x 4.13" x 9.57", makes it a perfect, eye-catching centerpiece for a desk, bookshelf, or scientific curiosity cabinet.

Display this mechanical specimen on your desk, bookshelf, or scientific curiosity cabinet. Let it whisper of competence, bold science, and a refusal to allow pests near your blueprints.
