Sitting Cat Sculpture on a Book Polly

This charming bronze sitting cat sculpture on a book captures a quiet moment of feline curiosity. Sculpted by British artist Peter Close, Polly sits alert and attentive, her tail curled neatly around her body as if listening to the subtle sounds of the world around her.

Carefully modelled from life, every detail of the cat’s posture and expression has been captured to reflect the natural elegance and intelligence that cat lovers recognise instantly. The sculpture rests on a beautifully detailed vintage book base, adding character and a sense of story to the piece.

Polly was inspired by one of our own rescue cats. When we went to collect two cats from Cats Protection, we noticed a tiny cat sitting alone who had recently been rescued after being abandoned in a box on a farm. She was so gentle and affectionate that we couldn’t leave her behind — Polly came home with us that same day.

The sculpture of Polly has special meaning, celebrating the resilience, curiosity and quiet companionship that cats bring into our lives.

Each sculpture is produced in cold cast bronze, giving the appearance, weight and rich patina of solid bronze while preserving the fine detail of the original sculpture. The result is a timeless bronze cat sculpture that looks equally beautiful displayed on a shelf, desk, or bookcase.

This piece makes a thoughtful gift for cat lovers and collectors of animal sculpture, and it is also often chosen as a cat memorial sculpture to remember a much-loved
