Iconic Lalanne’s decorative sheep

Nowadays, you can find almost anything made out of wool - sweaters, socks, hats, and even decorative sheep! That's right, and these cute little animals are crafted from real wool, making them the perfect addition to any home with a rustic or farmhouse-inspired aesthetic. 

Whether you use them as decoration in your living room or as a quirky door holder in your office, these sheep are sure to bring a smile to your face.

Iconic Lalane’s decorative sheep 

François-Xavier Lalanne’s sheep sculptures have become synonymous with taste and irreverence in the world of art and design. 

Motivated by the concept of his sheep furniture, the designer wanted to bring a bit of country life to Paris. When Lalanne unveiled his first flock of sheep over five decades ago, the functional flock made of sheepskin and bronze made quite the impression at the Parisian salon.

The success of this first impression prompted Lalanne to create additional but limited flocks of sheep for private clients.

Over five decades, the Lalanne sheep has become a signature piece of art collectors and design enthusiasts. These decorative sheep sculptures represent a small fraction of a monumental work revolving around creation and creativity.

Nowadays, these sheep are discontinued, and you can only purchase them at auctions. The prices can go up to $25,000 (24,106 EUR) per sheep, while the average can fetch as much as $3,500, and some have gone to be sold for over 500k$.

There's something about decorative sheep that just makes people happy. Maybe it's the way they seem to embody all things good and peaceful. Or maybe it's because they remind us of a simpler time when life was slower, and we had time to enjoy the small things.

Whatever the reason, decorative sheep are one of those home decorations that always bring a smile to our faces. And who doesn't love a little bit of extra happiness in their life?

Styling your home with decorative sheep doesn’t have to be demotivating, though. In this post, we’ll introduce you to an alternative to Lalanne's sheep. Although the price is lower than Lalanne’s, we can assure you these decorative sheep will be a conversation starter.

How to take care of decorative sheep

If you're lucky enough to have a decorative sheep in your home, congratulations! These unique pieces of art are not only beautiful, but they also require special care and attention. 

Here are a few tips on how to take care of your decorative sheep:

1. Dust them regularly. Like any other artwork in your home, your decorative sheep will accumulate dust over time. Use a soft, dry cloth to dust them off every week.

2. Clean their hooves. Those little hooves can get pretty dirty, so be sure to clean them every week or two with a damp cloth.

Decorative sheep are becoming increasingly popular, as they provide a unique and stylish way to add personality to a home. These sheep are not only beautiful but also durable and long-lasting.
