Victorian door furniture had a favourite trick: a beast cast in metal, its mane spread flat against the timber, a heavy ring held in its jaws for the caller to lift. These earrings bring that shape to the ear. Each is a wolf seen...

Every link in this band is built the way a drive chain is built. Two flat side plates, a barrel roller running between them, a capped pin holding the pair together. What changes is the cargo: sculpted wolf heads set into the run at...

Direwolves were real animals. Aenocyon dirus ranged across the Americas until roughly thirteen thousand years ago, heavier in the jaw than a grey wolf and built for larger prey. Fiction borrowed the name. This cover borrows the snarl. The face of the cover The...

The rope made of impossible thingsFenrir grew until the gods were frightened of him, and two attempts to chain him failed outright. The third worked because it was not a chain.Gleipnir was made by dwarves from six ingredients, all of them things that cannot...

Grandmother rides in the open jaws with her spectacles drawn on, her grey bun neat and her green and white dress spread over long pale legs. One soft tableau holds the whole tale. The wolf beneath her is dressed like a countryman in a...

Three panels, exact sizesThis is a triptych sold by real measurement rather than by Small and Large, which removes the usual guesswork.Read the sizes carefully though: 20x40cm X 3 pieces means each panel is 20x40cm, and the three panels stack one above another rather...

The wolf as guardianEuropean tradition spent centuries casting the wolf as the thing you needed protecting from. Almost everywhere else it is the opposite: a guardian at the edge of the camp, a teacher, an animal that keeps watch and does not abandon its...

Standing into the weatherThe wolf is out in the open on a sunlit snow slope, standing square and facing straight down the frame rather than moving off, and that posture is the whole piece.It is also accurate. Arctic wolves live where temperatures reach sixty...

Tartan, claws and fur cuffs Three red claw marks are torn across the front of the black top, and the rest of the costume answers them. The red tartan skirt is cut into uneven points at the hem with loose threads left hanging, and...

A coat of winter grey Silver and white guard hairs are printed across the whole jumpsuit, and they are laid in the direction fur actually grows: down the arms, back along the flanks, out over the shins. That single decision is what stops the...

Two wolves, one shacklePaired animal heads facing each other across a ring turn up again and again in old metalwork, and this bracelet takes the arrangement literally. Two cast wolf heads finish the rope ends, muzzles forward, and a bow shackle with a screw...

Arctic wolves keep a white coat the year round, while grey wolves further south only pale as the winter undercoat comes in. The animal on this hoodie belongs to the first group. A single wolf is photographed head on in silver, white and pale...

The Wolf Moon is a real nameJanuary's full moon is traditionally called the Wolf Moon in English, and the name has stuck for centuries.The usual explanation is that wolves howl more in midwinter. They do, though not from hunger as the folklore claims. Late...

Posture over portraitThe wolf here is lying flat in fresh snow, chest down, muzzle resting on the surface and one forepaw pushed out ahead, with an amber eye turned up towards you. It is a whole animal at rest rather than a head-on portrait,...

Made for a bedroomThe black ground is what makes this a bedroom piece rather than a living room one. Dark backgrounds absorb light instead of reflecting it, which keeps a room feeling calm rather than active.That is the opposite of what you want above...
