„Es hat vier Füße, gespaltene Klauen, eine stumpfe Nase, eine Mähne wie ein Pferd, hervorstehende Zähne, Roßschweif und -stimme und ist so groß wie ein sehr großes Rind.“

So beschreibt Herodot, der antike griechische Geschichtsschreiber, das Nilpferd in seinen Historien – wobei recht deutlich wird, dass er selbst das Tier nie zu Gesicht bekam.

Dabei reichen die bildlichen Darstellungen der behäbigen Flussbewohner von Felsmalereien über altägyptische Skulpturen bis in die Neuzeit: Emil Manz fertigt 1915 das Nilpferd Mathilda für die Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg an und vermag es, die ruhige, gemütliche Ausstrahlung des Tieres einzufangen – ein Glück, dass er sich dabei an einem Lebendexemplar und nicht an Herodots fragwürdiger Beschreibung orientierte.

Das Nilpferd Mathilda wird aus weißem oder schwarzem  Biskuitporzellan, sowie bemalt handgefertigt. Sehr gerne beraten wir Sie in unserem Showroom zu diesem einmaligen Stück.

Great quality and easy install
Color: White, Size: 55.1"W x 10.3"D x 1.8"H, Set of 1
Great quality. Very easy install. Mounted mine above my fireplace to create a mantel. Looks like it was there from the day the apartment was built. So far it has held a good bit of weight with heavy ceramic decor and one very fat cat jumping up on it lol.

Beautiful shelves!
Size: 48 Inch, Color: Natural, Size: 48 Inch, Color: Natural
Since new build homes typically don't come with towel rods this was what I envisioned instead. I purchased the hooks separately. The shelves are perfect! I ordered a 36in set as you see with the cream towels and a 48in set that you see with the green towels. They're not loose but not 100% sturdy. I recommend maybe gluing to the wall in addition to the rest and definitely screwing into a stud. They're easy enough to figure out without the instructions. But I will say they're supposed to be screwed in underneath to the rods but they did not come with an appropriate screw for that so I had to use some I already had on hand.

Nice
Size: 30 Inch, Color: Natural, Size: 30 Inch, Color: Natural
Easy to install..comes with small magnetic leveler which made things even easier! Really nice for the price. Only thing is other than sliding the wood onto the metal brace, there’s only 2 screws that screw wood onto brace so it makes for a slightly wobbly shelf on the brace… although I have 6 screws/anchors holding each brace into the wall so it’s technically quite solid…I’m a bit nervous to keep delicates on the shelves

Great Shelves! Drywall Anchors are the Bomb!
These shelves are very plain as I hoped they would be so as to not take away from the items displayed. The blue is true to the images so I was impressed by that. Word of knowledge: if you do not hit any studs, don’t use the mollies that came with them; use plastic drywall anchors! They work amazingly well!
