Professor Archibald
The Professor of Good Manners
 
Professor Archibald is a distinguished gentleman of the old English school, renowned for his impeccable manners and quiet wisdom. Wearing his classic top hat and monocle, he has dedicated his life to teaching etiquette, refinement, and the subtle art of good breeding.
Tucked discreetly beneath his wing, he carries a Victorian gentleman’s walking cane, an essential element of a gentleman’s attire in the 19th century. Far more than a simple walking aid, the cane was a powerful symbol of social status, wealth, and refined elegance, completing the silhouette of a well-bred gentleman. In Professor Archibald’s case, it perfectly reflects his scholarly authority and aristocratic presence.
His dignified posture and expressive details give him the presence of a true professor, calm, observant, and slightly amused by the world around him.
 
Each sculpture is handcrafted using paper mâché and cotton mixed media, a traditional technique that allows for rich texture, lightness, and subtle sculptural detail. This method gives every piece its distinctive surface, soft organic form, and gently time-worn character.
The natural variations in texture and finish are an intentional part of the artistic process, enhancing the individuality and charm of each sculpture.
