Wooden Whale Statue

Wooden Whale | Online8 New Zealand

Full of coastal character, this wooden whale features a weathered, vintage-inspired finish that gives it a unique aged appeal. Carved from lightweight paulownia wood and displayed on a simple stand, it makes an eye-catching accent for consoles, sideboards, shelves and coastal-style interiors.

Why It Stands Apart

• Weathered vintage-inspired finish: The aged surface reads as something found rather than bought, which is exactly what a coastal scheme wants.
• Comes on its own stand: No propping or wall fixing needed — set it down on a console or shelf and it stands upright on its own.
• Paulownia wood construction: A light, stable timber that carries the carved form without the weight of a solid hardwood piece.
• Generous 450mm span: Wide enough to anchor a sideboard vignette on its own, rather than needing a cluster of objects around it.
• Slim 82mm footprint: Narrow enough for a shallow shelf or mantel without overhanging the edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it come with the stand?
Yes — the whale is displayed on a simple stand, and the 450 × 82 × 395mm measurement is the piece as it stands.

Does it need to be wall-mounted?
No. It's a freestanding piece designed for consoles, sideboards and shelves.

What is paulownia wood like?
It's a light, stable timber often used for carved decorative pieces — noticeably lighter than oak or pine, which keeps a piece this size easy to move and reposition.

Will each one look the same?
The weathered finish and natural grain vary slightly from piece to piece, which is part of the vintage-inspired character.

How do I care for it?
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Keep it out of damp areas and away from prolonged direct sunlight so the timber and finish hold up.
